E308/308L-16 Welding Electrodes

Metals And Welding Specialities is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of E308/308L-16 Welding Electrodes, designed for superior performance in stainless steel welding applications. These electrodes are manufactured in compliance with ASTM A240 standards and are identified under UNS S30800 and UNS S30803. Known for excellent weldability, corrosion resistance, and durability, they are widely used across industries where stainless steel components demand strong and reliable joints.

The AWS Class E308/308L-16 electrodes are specifically formulated for welding low-carbon stainless steels such as 304L and 308L. Their coating ensures a stable arc, minimal spatter, and smooth bead appearance, making them ideal for both manual and automatic welding processes. The low carbon content in the 308L grade helps prevent carbide precipitation during welding, reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion. This makes them particularly suitable for applications exposed to aggressive environments like chemical processing, petrochemical plants, food and beverage industries, and marine operations.

At Metals And Welding Specialities, we focus on delivering electrodes that guarantee consistent quality and performance. The 308/308L-16 electrodes provide strong mechanical properties, excellent crack resistance, and smooth weld metal deposition. They are engineered to perform effectively under varying operating conditions, including exposure to high temperatures and corrosive media. Their universal application and compliance with international standards make them a trusted choice for fabricators and manufacturers worldwide.

Our E308/308L-16 coated electrodes are suitable for welding stainless steels like AISI 301, 302, 304, 305, and 308 grades, ensuring flexibility in multiple fabrication projects. They are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, dairy, breweries, fertilizers, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel manufacturing. These electrodes offer excellent resistance to oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures, making them a reliable choice for long-lasting performance.
