TG308L-125E - Bohler E308L-17 Stainless Steel Stick Electrode - 1/8 Inch - 9lb Tube

Achieve Flawless Stainless Welds with Ease

When your project demands a perfect finish on stainless steel, reach for the Bohler E308L-17 Stick Electrode. This 1/8-inch rod is a welder's favorite for working with 304 and 304L stainless grades. Why? Because it takes the headache out of stick welding stainless. The advanced rutile coating provides a buttery-smooth arc that feels steady in your hand, whether you are running on a shop AC machine or a field DC rig. It wets out beautifully at the toes, helping you avoid undercut and cold lap.

One of the biggest advantages of this Bohler electrode is the slag release. There is nothing worse than chipping away at stubborn slag on a stainless weld where every scratch matters. With the E308L-17, the slag often lifts off by itself as it cools, or comes off with a light tap, revealing a shiny, bright bead underneath. This makes it perfect for "show" welds on food service counters, brewery tanks, or custom automotive exhaust work.

The 9lb tube size is ideal for jobs that are too big for a small blister pack but don't require a bulk carton. You get enough rod to complete significant fabrication work without overstocking. The low carbon chemistry gives you peace of mind that your welds will hold up against rust and corrosion over time. Upgrade your consumables to Bohler and experience the difference a premium rod makes in your arc control and bead appearance.
