OVERVIEW

Tough Rods for Tough Jobs

When you are welding Super Duplex stainless steel, you can't afford to mess around with inferior filler metals. The Exocor E2594-16 is your go-to stick electrode for those critical 2507 jobs. Whether you are working on offshore platforms, chemical tanks, or high-pressure piping systems, this rod delivers the strength and corrosion resistance the engineers demand. This 3/16-inch version is a heavy hitter, perfect for filling up bevels on thick plate and pipe where you need to lay down metal fast without sacrificing quality.

Welders will appreciate the smooth runability of this electrode. The rutile coating gives you a soft, stable arc that doesn't fight you, even when you are out of position. Slag removal is a breeze—often peeling up on its own—which saves you time on cleanup and reduces the risk of slag inclusions in multi-pass welds. It runs beautifully on both DC+ and AC, giving you flexibility depending on your machine setup. The bead profile washes in nicely at the toes, helping you avoid stress risers and making your cap pass look like a stack of dimes.

Packaged in a convenient 10lb tube, these rods are easy to transport around the job site. Remember, Super Duplex is sensitive to heat input, so keep your interpass temperatures in check (usually under 300°F) to maintain that perfect ferrite-austenite balance. If you need a rod that handles well and passes X-ray every time, load up your stinger with Exocor E2594-16.

FAQ

This electrode is classified as E2594-16 under AWS A5.4 standards.

It is designed for Super Duplex stainless steels like UNS S32750 (2507) and S32760, but can also join these to carbon steel or standard duplex grades.

You can use either Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) or Alternating Current (AC).

If the electrodes have been exposed to moisture or humid air, they should be re-dried according to the manufacturer's guidelines (typically 250-300°C for 2 hours) to prevent porosity.

This specific item is 3/16 inch (approximately 4.8mm) in diameter.

E2594 is 'Super Duplex' with higher alloy content (PREN > 40) for greater corrosion resistance than E2209, which is standard Duplex.

The tensile strength typically exceeds 110,000 psi (760 MPa), matching the high strength of super duplex base materials.

No, -16 coated electrodes are generally suitable for all positions except vertical down. Vertical up is recommended for vertical welds.
