Description
Versatile Electrode E312‑16 3.2mm Stainless Steel Welding Rods
Electrode E312‑16 3.2 mm welding rods are engineered for heavy-duty stainless steel welding—especially suited for fabricators joining dissimilar metals or working with high-tensile alloys. These rods are formulated to deliver superb strength, crack resistance, and metallurgical reliability even under extreme conditions.
With a blend of chromium and nickel, the E312 alloy produces robust welds with excellent toughness and resistance to thermal and mechanical fatigue. Its rutile coating promotes smooth arc initiation and minimal spatter, reducing post-weld cleanup.
