ED034445 - Lincoln ER316L Stainless TIG Rod 1/16" - 30lb Carton

Precision and Control for Stainless TIG Welding

When you are under the hood TIG welding stainless steel, consistency and cleanliness are everything. The Lincoln® ER316/316L TIG Rod delivers the smooth feeding and stable arc characteristics you expect from a top-tier brand. Designed for joining Type 316 and 316L stainless steels, this filler metal flows wet and produces a clean, aesthetically pleasing bead with minimal oxidation, making your post-weld cleanup faster and easier.

One of the standout features for the professional welder is the ink-jet printing on the entire length of the electrode. We have all been there—rods get mixed up on the bench, and you can't afford to guess which filler metal you are grabbing. With the identification clearly marked, you can verify you are using the correct 316L alloy every time, preventing costly rework and ensuring the metallurgical integrity of your weld.

This rod is formulated for high-temperature service applications and provides excellent creep resistance. Whether you are welding process piping, repairing food service equipment, or fabricating custom stainless components, the 1/16-inch diameter gives you the fine control needed for root passes and thin-wall tubing. The addition of Molybdenum not only helps the weld survive in corrosive environments but also aids in the fluidity of the puddle, giving you better control over the fusion profile.

• Superior Puddle Control: Wet-out is smooth and consistent.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for both 316 and 316L base metals.
