Stainless Steel Electrode, 316L X 1/8"

Stainless Steel Electrode, 316L X 1/8"

The 316L1810 Stainless Steel Electrode (316L x 1/8") is a 316L-16 stainless stick electrode designed primarily for welding molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless alloys with low carbon content (0.03% max). It features a titania-type coating for smooth running on AC or DC reverse polarity, and it conforms to AWS A5.4 / ASME SFA 5.4 requirements—making it a solid choice when you need corrosion-resistant welds and predictable performance.
