When your project demands the highest level of corrosion resistance and weld quality, reach for ESAB OK Tigrod 316L. These 3.2mm (1/8") TIG rods are the professional's choice for welding 316 and 316L stainless steels. Whether you are fabricating food-grade piping, repairing marine hardware, or building chemical tanks, this rod delivers the performance you need. The "L" stands for Low Carbon, which means you get a weld that resists rust from the inside out, even without heat treating it afterwards.
Welders love the OK Tigrod 316L for its smooth running characteristics. It wets out evenly, allowing you to lay down those stack-of-dimes beads with less effort. The 3.2mm diameter is perfect for filling joints on thicker plate or pipe, giving you good coverage without overheating the base metal. Because it contains molybdenum, it stands up to salt water and chlorides much better than standard stainless rods, giving your customers a product that lasts longer in the real world.
Packaged in a sturdy 5kg tube, these rods stay straight and clean until you're ready to burn them. No more bent ends or contaminated filler metal. Just grab a rod, strike your arc, and experience the consistency that ESAB is famous for. If you are working on a job that requires 316L specs, don't settle for generic filler—use the rod that's proven to perform.
