163040R150 - ESAB OK Tigrod 316L Stainless Steel TIG Welding Rod - 4.0mm (5kg Tube)

Reliable TIG Rods for Tough Stainless Jobs

When your project demands a stainless steel weld that can stand up to the elements, the ESAB OK Tigrod 316L is the filler metal you want in your hand. This 4.0mm TIG rod is the go-to choice for welders working on 316 and 316L stainless steel grades. Whether you are fabricating tanks for a microbrewery, repairing chemical piping, or working on marine hardware, this rod delivers the corrosion resistance and strength you need. The "L" in 316L stands for Low Carbon, which is a big deal—it keeps your welds from rusting from the inside out (intergranular corrosion) and saves you from having to heat treat the part after welding.

Welders love the ESAB OK Tigrod series because of how it runs. You get a smooth, stable arc with excellent fluidity, meaning the puddle goes exactly where you want it. The wetting action is superb, helping you lay down those stack-of-dimes beads that customers appreciate. At 4.0mm thick, this rod is a heavy hitter, perfect for filling larger bevels or working on thick plate where a smaller rod would just burn away too fast. It feeds cleanly and consistently, reducing frustration and downtime.

Packed in a sturdy 5kg tube, these rods stay protected from moisture and contaminants until you are ready to burn them. The addition of Molybdenum gives your welds extra armor against pitting, especially if the part is going to be exposed to salt water or harsh cleaning chemicals. If you are welding food-grade stainless or industrial equipment, trust ESAB to give you a filler metal that makes your work look good and last long.
