AWS A5.4: E308L-16

All positional, rutile type stainless steel electrode

depositing very low carbon weld metal of 19Cr/10Ni
type. For welding 304 and 304L stainless steels in
critical applications and for general purpose
welding of other stabilised and non-stabilised 300
series stainless steels
 AWS A5.4: E309MoL-16

All positional, rutile type stainless steel electrode which

deposits very low carbon weld metal of 23Cr/12Ni/2.5Mo
type. For welding of matching 309 and 309Mo base
metals and a wide range of 300 and 400 series stainless
steels to alloyed and non alloyed dissimilar ferrous metal
combinations.
 AWS A5.4: E310-16

All positional (except vertical down) rutile/basic stainless

steel electrode of 25Cr/20Ni type, depositing fully austenitic
weld metal which resists scaling up to 1050C.
Recommended for welding heat resisting stainless steels
such as 310 as used in cement kilns, case hardening
furnaces and burners subject to high temperature oxidation.
 AWS A5.4: E316L-16

Rutile stainless steel electrode exhibiting superior all

positional welding (except vertical down) performance,
depositing weld metal of 19Cr/12Ni/2.5Mo type.
Recommended for welding 316, 316L and common 300
series stainless steels such as 301,302,304 and 304L.
Also suitable for welding ferritic stainless steel alloys such
as 3Cr12.
 AWS A5.4: E347-16

All positional (except vertical down) rutile stainless

steel electrode with extra low carbon depositing weld
metal of 19Cr/10Ni/0.5Nb type. Recommended for
welding 321 and 347 stabilised stainless steels in
critical, high temperature applications where immunity
to weld metal sensitisation and resultant intergranular
corrosion is essential.
 AWS A5.4: E308L-16

Very low carbon, rutile stainless steel electrode for all

positional welding (except vertical down) producing a
19Cr/9Ni type weld metal deposit. Recommended for
welding 304 and 304L stainless steels such as used
in dairy, food and chemical industries.
 AWS A5.4: E309L-16

Very low carbon, rutile stainless steel electrode for

all positional welding (except vertical down)
producing a weld metal deposit of 23Cr/12Ni type.
For welding 309 stainless steel, and dissimilar
steel combinations such as stainless steel to mild
steel.
 AWS A5.4: E309MoL-16

Very low carbon, rutile stainless steel electrode

exhibiting superior all positional welding (except
vertical down) producing a weld metal deposit of
23Cr/13Ni/2.5Mo type. Applications include welding
of matching 309 and 309Mo base metals plus a wide
range of 300 and 400 series stainless steels to
alloyed and non alloyed dissimilar ferrous metal
combinations.
 AWS A5.4: E316L-16

Rutile stainless steel electrode for all positional

welding (except vertical down) giving excellent weld
quality, appearance and profile. Recommended for
welding 316, 316L and common 300 series stainless
steels such as 301, 302, 304 and 306L. Also suitable
for welding ferritic stainless steel alloys such as
3Cr12.
 AWS A5.4: E318-16

Rutile stainless steel electrode for all positional welding

(except vertical down) depositing weld metal containing
molybdenum and stabilised with niobium.
Recommended for welding 318 and 316 stainless steels
and stainless steels containing Mo/Nb where resistance
to intercrystalline corrosion is required
