Stainless Steel Filler Rod Sizes

Light gauge metals less than 1 16 1 6mm thick should always be welded with dcsp using argon gas.

Stainless steel filler rod sizes.

Each stainless steel rod is composed of the 303 grade of alloy. Stainless steel tig rods are for use in dc mode on the tig welding process on all kinds of stainless steel. Welding stainless steel in tig welding of stainless steel welding rods having the aws astm prefixes of e or er can be used as filler rods. Size 1 lb 1 16 material stainless steel 316 shape tube installation method tig welding.

At low amperage a large rod chills the puddle a lot and can cause a very irregular bead. For stainless sheet metal one size lower than you would use for carbon steel seems to help because typically less amperage is used on stainless steel than on carbon steel. Cf 8c is the cast equivalent. Er308l tig welding rod.

For your convenience we offer 36 91 44cm long rod conveniently packaged in 1lb. Type 347 stainless steel filler metal is ideal for 347 and 321 base materials because it matches these stabilized grades. Use these raw materials in your next machining and welding tasks. We supply sif tig filler rods which feature a low carbon content and provide good corrosion and wear resistance in a wide range of grades and pack sizes.

Rod stock is available in different sizes and strengths. Some 308l applications may be substituted with 309l filler metal but 316l or 316 applications generally require molybdenum and 309l contains no molybdenum. Stainless steel mild steel copper alloys aluminum alloys nickel alloys titanium alloys. There are others like 316l and if you know what you are welding its best to use a match.

Our rod stocks feature resistance to rust in a number of environments both natural and man made. Cg 12 is the cast equivalent of 309.

We understand that you don t always need 10 pounds of tig rod when welding small or one off jobs.

However only bare uncoated rods should be used. Weldingcity 1 lb er316l stainless steel tig welding rods 1 lb 1 16 x36 tig welding equipment. For aluminum the same rule applies to sheet metal roughly.
