OVERVIEW

Reliable 309L TIG Filler for Versatile Fabrication

Tackle your toughest stainless steel welding challenges with Exocor Executive ER309L TIG Welding Rods. When your project involves welding stainless steel to mild steel, standard 308L or 316L rods simply won't cut it. You need the higher alloy content of 309L to handle the dilution from the carbon steel base metal without cracking. This 0.040" (1.0mm) rod gives you the precision control needed for thin-gauge materials and delicate root passes.

The "Executive" line from Exocor is known for its superior surface finish and consistency. Welders will appreciate the smooth feeding and stable arc that allows for precise puddle control. The 309L alloy is formulated to handle high-temperature service and heat treatment better than standard grades, and its low carbon composition protects against grain boundary corrosion. This makes it an essential filler metal to keep in your shop for unexpected repairs or custom fabrication jobs involving mixed materials.

Each 10lb tube contains 36-inch rods, protecting them from moisture and contamination until you are ready to weld. Whether you are an automotive fabricator working on exhaust systems or an industrial welder repairing heavy machinery, the Exocor ER309L ensures strong, ductile, and corrosion-resistant welds every time.

Why Choose Exocor 309L?

  • Versatility: The go-to rod for dissimilar metal joining.
  • Quality: Clean finish for defect-free welds.
  • Performance: Excellent crack resistance and toughness.

FAQ

ER309L is primarily used for welding dissimilar metals, such as joining stainless steel to carbon steel or low-alloy steel. It is also used for the first layer of cladding on carbon steel.

The 'L' stands for 'Low Carbon'. This indicates a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, which helps prevent carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.

Yes, ER309L is the standard recommendation for welding 304 stainless steel to mild (carbon) steel.

This product is 0.040 inches (approximately 1.0mm) in diameter.

For TIG welding with ER309L, 100% Argon is the standard shielding gas.

Yes, Exocor Executive 309L is suitable for cryogenic applications, offering good toughness depending on the specific temperature range and process variables.

The exact count varies by diameter, but for 0.040" rods, a 10lb tube contains a significant quantity of 36" lengths, typically several hundred rods.
