Stainless welding rod is a type of rod-shaped welding product. It is used in all kinds of welding positions. It is easy to use and is popular in restaurants, craft breweries, and other industries. It is also widely used in scientific equipment. It is very resistant to corrosion. It is also known as a good choice for welding plates.
If you are welding stainless steel, you should have the right gas. For example, a tri-mix of 90% helium, 7.5% argon, and 2.5% carbon dioxide is commonly used. This mix produces a nice bead contour. You can also add hydrogen to the weld pool to increase fluidity. But hydrogen is not suitable for ferritic grades. You should also check the base metal and the properties of the finished weld to decide which filler metal to use.
Forney 1/8" E312-16 Stainless Steel Welding Electrode is one of the best rods for welding most grades of steel. It is easy to use and has a superior combination of tensile strength and elongation. This electrode is a great choice for horizontal fillet welds.
Platinum 309MoL is a versatile 309 series stainless-steel welding rod. It is suitable for welding hard-to-weld steels such as clad steel, corrosion-resistant welding, and buffer layers. It has a smooth arc, low spatter, and excellent slag control. It is also available in a convenient 1kg re-useable package.
High-intensity stainless welding rod is composed of two parts: a core wire and a covering. The core wire is made of 304L stainless steel and contains 1%-4% silicon iron. The covering contains 5%-9% manganese powder, 20%-30% feldspar, and carboxymethyl cellulose.
