OVERVIEW

Master Stainless Welding with Lincoln ER347

Take your TIG welding projects to the next level with Lincoln Electric's ER347 TIG Rods. Sized at 1/8" (3.2mm), these rods are the go-to choice for professional welders working with specific stainless grades like 347 and 321. If you've ever struggled with weld decay or corrosion issues in your stainless projects, switching to a stabilized filler metal like ER347 is the solution. These rods are infused with niobium, a special element that stabilizes the steel structure, ensuring your welds remain rust-free and strong even under harsh conditions.

Smooth Beads and Easy Feeding

One of the biggest challenges in TIG welding is achieving that perfect, stack-of-dimes look while ensuring deep penetration and fusion. Lincoln Electric has formulated these rods to flow smoothly, giving you excellent puddle control. The clean surface finish of the rods minimizes impurities in the weld pool, reducing the risk of porosity and inclusions. Whether you are walking the cup on a pipe joint or performing intricate detail work on a manifold, the consistent feed and stable arc of these rods make the job easier and the results more professional.

Built for Heat and Durability

Not all stainless rods are created equal. While standard 308L is great for general work, it can't handle the high-heat service that ER347 is designed for. If you are welding exhaust manifolds, turbo piping, or industrial heating elements, you need a filler metal that won't crack or corrode when things get hot. The ER347 alloy offers superior creep resistance, meaning it holds its strength better than standard stainless grades when exposed to prolonged high temperatures. It's the professional's insurance policy against weld failure in extreme environments.

Versatile Applications

From custom automotive fabrication to sanitary process piping, Lincoln ER347 rods are versatile enough for a wide range of applications. They are particularly effective for welding stainless clad steels and can even be used for overlaying carbon steel to provide a corrosion-resistant surface. When your reputation depends on the quality of your welds, trust the brand that has been powering the welding industry for over a century. Load up your torch, grab some Lincoln ER347, and lay down beads that look as good as they perform.

FAQ

ER347 is primarily used for TIG welding niobium-stabilized stainless steels like grades 347 and 321 to prevent intergranular corrosion.

Yes, you can use ER347 on 304 stainless, but ER308L is the standard choice. ER347 is specifically necessary when welding stabilized grades or for high-temperature applications.

For TIG welding with ER347 rods, 100% Argon is the recommended shielding gas to ensure a clean, stable arc and protect the weld pool.

These specific Lincoln Electric rods have a diameter of 1/8 inch, which is approximately 3.2mm.

Niobium (also called Columbium) is added as a stabilizer to prevent chromium carbide precipitation, which protects the weld area from intergranular corrosion.

TIG welding with stainless steel rods like ER347 is typically performed using DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative).

Yes, ER347 is designed for high-temperature service and offers better creep strength than ER308L at elevated temperatures.

Yes, TIG rods are typically packaged in protective tubes or cartons to prevent damage and contamination.
