Stainless Steel Welding Electrodes

Premium Stainless Steel Welding Electrodes | Corrosion-Resistant & Durable Solutions

Why Welders Trust Our Stainless Steel Electrodes

When you’re welding stainless steel, even a tiny crack or rust spot can ruin a project. That’s why fabricators from Swiss watchmakers to Saudi oil rigs rely on our electrodes. These rods aren’t just about shiny beads—they’re engineered to fight corrosion, handle extreme temperatures, and stick to strict hygiene standards. Whether you’re repairing a food processing conveyor or building a chemical tank, we’ve got your back.

The Electrodes That Outlast the Competition

• Corrosion? Not on Our Watch: Chromium-rich alloy (19% Cr, 10% Ni) resorts to pitting and rust, even in salty air or acidic environments. (Ideal for coastal factories or brewery tanks.)

• Smooth Operator: Arc starts instantly, even on thin 304L sheets. No more “cold starts” that warp delicate parts.

• Certified Safe for Food/Grade: Passes AWS A5.4 and ISO 3581-A tests. Perfect for dairy pipelines or pharmaceutical equipment.

• Works in Tight Spaces: All-position welding capability—overhead, vertical, you name it.

• No Post-Weld Headaches: Slag lifts off cleanly, leaving a smooth finish that needs minimal polishing.

Technical Specs That Actually Matter

Grades We Offer:

• E308L-16: Go-to for 304/304L stainless. Used by a Barcelona shipyard to weld desalination plant pipes.

• E316L-16: Molybdenum-added for chemical resistance. A German lab uses these for sulfuric acid storage tanks.

• E309L-16: Joins stainless to mild steel. Popular in exhaust system repairs.

Sizes & Packaging:

• Diameters: 2.0mm (for precision), 2.5mm (most versatile), 3.2mm (heavy plate).

• Packaging: 4.5kg moisture-proof tubes (with silica gel) or 15kg bulk drums.

Performance Stats:

• Tensile Strength: 75,000 PSI (517 MPa)

• Operating Temp: -320°F to 1200°F (-196°C to 650°C)

• Certifications: AWS A5.4, EN 1600, PED 2014/68/EU

Real-World Wins

Case 1: Singapore Food Factory
Problem: Welds on stainless milk tanks rusted within months.
Our Fix: Switched them to E316L-16 rods. Result? Zero corrosion after 2 years of daily CIP (clean-in-place) cycles.

Case 2: Texas Chemical Plant
Issue: Cracks in 304L reactor welds under thermal cycling.
Solution: Our E308L-16 rods + 70-100A DCEN settings. Passed ASME Section IX tests.

Pro Tips for Perfect Welds

1. Storage Matters: Keep rods in their original tubes until use. A Mumbai workshop reduced porosity by 40% after buying our dehumidifier cabinets.

2. Angle Trick: Hold at 15° drag angle for flat surfaces. Tilt to 80° for vertical-up welds.

3. Post-Weld Care: For food-grade jobs, pickle welds with nitric acid to restore corrosion resistance.
