OVERVIEW

Experience the Excalibur Difference

For welders who demand performance and playability in their consumables, the Lincoln Electric Excalibur® 309/309L-17 Stick Electrode stands in a class of its own. If you have ever struggled with stainless rods that stick, sputter, or leave behind slag that requires a chisel to remove, the Excalibur 309L-17 will change your perspective on stick welding stainless. Designed with the operator in mind, this electrode features a specialized flux coating that delivers an exceptionally smooth arc transfer. Whether you are running on a shop rectifier or a portable generator, the arc remains stable and soft, reducing operator fatigue and allowing for precise control over the weld puddle.

One of the biggest headaches in stainless stick welding is slag removal. The Excalibur 309/309L-17 addresses this with a self-peeling slag system. In many cases, the slag will lift off by itself as the weld cools, or require only a light tap to reveal a bright, clean, and finely rippled bead underneath. This not only makes your welds look professional but also significantly cuts down on post-weld cleaning and grinding time. This rod is your go-to solution for those tricky jobs where you need to weld a stainless bracket to a mild steel frame or perform repairs on equipment where different steel types meet. The versatility to run on AC or DC+ means you aren't limited by your machine's capabilities.

Packaged in Lincoln's convenient 10 lb Easy Open Can, these electrodes are ready to work when you are. No more fumbling with tools to pry open a container; simply pop the top and start burning. The 1/8-inch diameter is a versatile size, perfect for medium-to-heavy gauge materials in flat and horizontal positions. Whether you are in the field repairing process piping or in the shop fabricating custom assemblies, the Excalibur 309/309L-17 delivers the consistency and quality that professional welders trust to get the job done right the first time.

FAQ

The E309L-17 is primarily used for joining dissimilar metals, specifically stainless steel to mild or low alloy steel. It is also used for applying buffer layers.

Yes, the '-17' coating designation indicates that this electrode is designed to operate smoothly on both AC and DC+ (Direct Current Electrode Positive) polarity.

The 'L' stands for Low Carbon. This indicates the electrode has a lower carbon content to help prevent carbide precipitation and intergranular corrosion.

Yes, the Excalibur 309/309L-17 features a self-peeling slag that is generally very easy to remove, often lifting off on its own.

This electrode has a diameter of 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) and a length of 14 inches (350 mm).

It comes in a 10 lb Easy Open Can, which protects the electrodes from moisture and damage.

Yes, this is a Q2 Lot® product. You can access a certificate online showing the actual deposit composition and ferrite number for your specific lot.

The flux coating provides smooth transfer primarily in the flat and horizontal positions.
