Stainless Steel Welding Electrode FAQ
Which stainless steel electrode grade should I choose?
Match the base metal first: E308 for 304, E316 for 316 and 316L, E309 for joining stainless to carbon steel, and E312 where high strength and crack resistance on dissimilar joints matter more than matching composition.
What current do stainless electrodes use?
AC or DC electrode positive. Stainless electrodes are run on the positive polarity because it gives a stable arc and good penetration, and the current should be kept low to avoid overheating the chrome in the deposit.
Why does stainless steel distort so much?
Low thermal conductivity means heat stays local and the expansion has nowhere to go. Low current, short arcs, balanced sequence and back stepping are the standard controls, rather than trying to weld faster.
What sizes and packing are supplied?
2.5mm at 300 or 350mm, 3.2mm at 350mm, 4.0mm at 400mm and 5.0mm at 450mm. Packed 2.5kg per box at 20kg per carton of eight boxes for 2.5mm, and 5kg per box at 20kg per carton of four boxes for the larger sizes.
Do stainless electrodes need special storage?
They should stay dry like any covered electrode, but they are less sensitive to hydrogen than a basic low hydrogen type. The real risks are moisture pickup causing porosity and contamination of the coating by carbon steel dust.
