Weld stainless steel with these rods.

ER308L—ER308L rods are for 304 stainless steel. They create welds that hold even in cryogenic temperatures.

ER308LSi—ER308LSi rods are for 304 stainless steel. They have a higher silicon content than ER308L rods, so they flow more easily when melted and fill in more of the space between the two pieces of your weld. They’re also better where appearance matters because their welds are smoother.

ER309LSi—ER309LSi rods are for 309 stainless steel. They have a higher silicon content than ER309L rods, so they flow more easily when melted and fill in more of the space between the two pieces of your weld. They’re also better where appearance matters because their welds are smoother.

ER316L—ER316L rods are for 316 and 316L stainless steel.

ER316LSi—ER316LSi rods are for 316 stainless steel. They have a higher silicon content than ER316L rods, so they flow more easily when melted and fill in more of the space between the two pieces of your weld. They’re also better where appearance matters because their welds are smoother.

ER320LR—ER320LR rods are for 320 stainless steel.

ER630—ER630 rods are for 17-4 PH stainless steel.

For Joining Steel

Weld steel together with these rods.

ER70S-2—ER70S-2 rods are good for welding over rust and mill scale. They’re made from a blend that helps remove contaminants and imperfections from the weld pool.

ER70S-3—ER70S-3 rods are good for welding carbon steel in general fabrication applications. They have a low silicon content, so you can powder coat your welds.

ER70S-6—ER70S-6 rods are good for welding dirty, oily, and rusty steel. You can also use them to join misaligned pieces together. They create X-ray quality welds without air pockets for a smoother and more uniform welding bead than standard welding rods. Their high silicon content allows them to flow easily when melted, so they spread out to fill in the space between two pieces of your weld before hardening.

For Joining Aluminum About For Joining Aluminum

Weld aluminum with these rods.

ER1100—ER1100 rods are for aluminum 1100, 3003, and 5005. Soft and easy to form, they’re often used to weld thin-gauge aluminum and foil. They also resist chemicals and corrosion. Anodize these rods to create a bright finish.

ER4043—ER4043 rods are for aluminum 43, 356, 3003, 3004, 5052, 6061, and 6063.

ER4047—ER4047 rods are for aluminum 43, 356, 3003, 3004, 5052, 6061, and 6063. Choose these rods when leak-tight welds are a must, such as when welding very thin aluminum and products that will hold pressurized liquids or gases. When melted, they flow better than ER4043 rods, so they’ll fill in more of the space between the two pieces of your weld. They also shrink less as they cool, so they’re less likely to distort your weld. Once hardened, they produce a bright finish with little soot. These rods will stand up to prolonged high heat.
