The E308L-16 is an AWS-classified stainless steel welding electrode for joining 18/8 (304/308) types of stainless steel, featuring an extra-low carbon (<0.04%) core for excellent corrosion resistance and a rutile (titania) coating for stable, smooth welds on AC or DCEP, ideal for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical equipment needing high cleanliness and durability.
Key Characteristics
E (Electrode): It's a welding electrode.
308: Indicates the stainless steel type (similar to AISI 308).
L (Low Carbon): Extra-low carbon content (max 0.04%) prevents carbide precipitation, enhancing corrosion resistance, especially in the heat-affected zone.
16 (Rutile Coating): A rutile-based coating provides a stable arc, easy slag removal, smooth beads, and excellent appearance, suitable for AC or DC+.
Performance & Applications
Welds: Produces welds with good mechanical properties, strength, and ductility, resisting cracking and scaling at elevated temperatures.
Best For: Welding 301, 302, 304L, 308L, and similar stainless steels.
Industries: Food processing, dairy, chemical plants, petrochemicals, and general fabrication.
Positions: Suitable for all-position welding, performing well in flat and horizontal positions.
Summary
E308L-16 electrodes are a versatile choice for fabricating equipment where cleanliness and corrosion resistance are critical, offering ease of use with a forgiving rutile coating and enhanced weld integrity due to its low-carbon composition
