Stainless Steel Filler Rod Sizes

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.

Stainless steel filler rod sizes.

For aluminum the same rule applies to sheet metal roughly. At low amperage a large rod chills the puddle a lot and can cause a very irregular bead. Each stainless steel rod is composed of the 303 grade of alloy. This type of alloy allows for greater machining speeds.

Our rod stocks feature resistance to rust in a number of environments both natural and man made. Er308l tig welding rod. Stainless steel mild steel copper alloys aluminum alloys nickel alloys titanium alloys. 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.

Cg 12 is the cast equivalent of 309. For your convenience we offer 36 91 44cm long rod conveniently packaged in 1lb. There are others like 316l and if you know what you are welding its best to use a match. Light gauge metals less than 1 16 1 6mm thick should always be welded with dcsp using argon gas.

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. Er308l stainless tig rod when you know that you are welding 300 series stainless steel 304 is the most common 300 series stainless used you cant go wrong with er308 rods.

However only bare uncoated rods should be used. Some 308l applications may be substituted with 309l filler metal but 316l or 316 applications generally require molybdenum and 309l contains no molybdenum. Use these raw materials in your next machining and welding tasks. Cf 8c is the cast equivalent.

Rod stock is available in different sizes and strengths. Type 347 stainless steel filler metal is ideal for 347 and 321 base materials because it matches these stabilized grades. We understand that you don t always need 10 pounds of tig rod when welding small or one off jobs.
