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.

E310—E310 electrodes are for 310 stainless steel in wrought and cast form. They’re commonly used in heat shields, furnace parts, and ducting applications.

E312—E312 electrodes are for 316L or 318 stainless steel. They are often used to weld wrought and cast alloys, and for joining dissimilar metal.

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.

E330—E330 electrodes are for wrought and cast forms of 330 stainless steel, when heat and scale resistance is needed. They’re often used for heat treatment and in furnace environments.

E410—E410 electrodes are for 410 stainless steel. They are commonly used for surfacing steel mill rolls, furnace and burner parts, and turbine parts.

E2209—E2209 electrodes are for 2209 stainless steel. They have excellent stress resistance, and are often used in offshore oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical applications.

E320LR—E320LR electrodes are for 320 stainless steel.

E347—E347 electrodes are for 321 and 347 stainless steel. They are good for vertical, overhead, and horizontal welding.
