OVERVIEW

Reliable All-Position Stainless Stick Rod

Tackle your toughest high-heat welding projects with the Hobart Sterling AP 310 Stick Electrode. This 3/16-inch rod is formulated for welders who demand smooth runability and professional results, even when working out of position. The Sterling AP (All Position) coating provides a stable, soft arc on both AC and DCEP currents, ensuring you can lay down consistent beads with minimal spatter and easy slag removal. It is the ideal choice for welding 310 stainless steel, known for its ability to withstand extreme heat without failing.

If you are working on equipment that faces constant thermal cycling, such as furnace parts, kiln linings, or boiler components, this E310-16 electrode is your best defense against oxidation and corrosion. It is also a problem-solver for maintenance welding, serving as a reliable choice for joining dissimilar steels or creating a buffer layer on hard-to-weld high-carbon steels. The 3/16" size is perfect for heavy-wall pipe and plate applications where fill rate matters.

Packaged in a convenient 7lb can, these electrodes are easy to transport to the job site and store in your shop. The moisture-resistant packaging helps maintain the coating's integrity, preventing porosity and ensuring a high-quality weld every time you strike an arc. Upgrade your stainless stick welding capabilities with the proven performance of Hobart Sterling AP 310.
