Stick Electrodes for Stainless Steel

The flux coating on these electrodes produces good stability, speed, and welding performance.

E308L—E308L electrodes are for 201, 202, 301, 302, 304, 305, and 308 stainless steel. They create welds that work well at cryogenic temperatures.

E309L—E309L electrodes are for 309 stainless steel. They can also be used for other stainless steel where pre- and post-heat treatments aren’t possible, as well as for joining dissimilar metals.

E316L—E316L electrodes are for 316 stainless steel. They are often used on food-processing equipment, chemical equipment, and for welds on molybdenum-bearing steels.

Stick Electrodes for Joining Cast Iron to Steel and Stainless Steel

Made of 85% pure nickel, these electrodes join cast iron to itself, and to mild steel and stainless steel. Their welds are easily machinable due to their high nickel content. They’re often used to repair castings. The flux coating produces good stability, speed, and welding performance.

Stick Electrodes for Copper, Brass, and Bronze

Weld copper, brass, and bronze with these electrodes. The flux coating produces good stability, speed, and welding performance.

ECuSn-C—ECuSn-C electrodes are commonly used for metallic carbon arc welding of brass, bronze, and copper to themselves, and to mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.
