161032R150 - ESAB OK Tigrod 308L Stainless Steel TIG Welding Rod - 3.2mm - 5kg Tube

Smooth Feeding and Superior Corrosion Resistance

When you are under the hood welding stainless steel, you need a filler metal that flows smoothly and produces a bead you can be proud of. The ESAB OK Tigrod 308L in 3.2mm (approx. 1/8") is designed exactly for that purpose. Whether you are fabricating food-grade countertops, repairing brewery equipment, or welding custom exhaust systems, this rod gives you the control and quality required for professional results. The 'L' in 308L stands for Low Carbon, which is your insurance policy against corrosion cracking in the heat-affected zone later down the road.

Welders appreciate the ESAB OK Tigrod series for its consistency. You won't be fighting impurities or inconsistent diameters that snag in your hand. The 3.2mm size is perfect for thicker wall tubing, plate, and structural stainless applications where you need to deposit more metal efficiently while maintaining a stable arc. It wets out beautifully at the toes of the weld, helping you avoid undercut and reducing the amount of post-weld grinding and polishing needed to achieve that sanitary finish.

This 5kg tube is the perfect size for the shop, keeping your rods clean, straight, and dry until you are ready to burn them. Compatible with standard DCEN TIG setups using 100% Argon shielding gas, this rod is the go-to choice for welding 304 and 304L stainless steels. If you are looking for a rod that makes the puddle easy to read and manipulate, giving you those stack-of-dimes results with excellent color, the ESAB OK Tigrod 308L is the tool for the job.
