TG316L00000125OE70 - Exocor E316L-17 Stainless Steel Stick Electrode - 1/8" (3.2mm) - 45lb Box

Smooth Stainless Welding with Exocor 316L-17

When your project demands a flawless finish on stainless steel, the Exocor E316L-17 stick electrode is your go-to solution. Designed for welders who appreciate control and aesthetics, this rod features a special '-17' coating that makes the welding process incredibly smooth. You'll notice immediately how quiet the arc is and how little spatter is generated compared to standard stainless rods. Once you lay down a bead, the slag cools and often curls up on its own, leaving you with a shiny, finely rippled weld that requires minimal post-weld cleaning or grinding.

This electrode is specifically engineered for 316 and 316L stainless steel, commonly found in marine environments, food service kitchens, and breweries. The 'Low Carbon' formula protects your welds from rusting from the inside out (intergranular corrosion), ensuring your work stands the test of time. The addition of molybdenum gives the weld metal extra strength against pitting, which is essential if your fabrication will be exposed to salt water or harsh chemicals.

Whether you are running an old buzz box on AC or a modern inverter on DC+, these rods light up easily and maintain a steady arc. The 1/8-inch size is the perfect all-rounder for structural stainless work, pipe welding, and tank repairs. Packaged in a bulk 45lb box, this product is perfect for shops that burn a lot of rod and need reliable, consistent performance every time they strike an arc.
