What are 308 16 welding rods used for?
Table of Contents
Arcaloy 308/308H-16 electrodes were designed for the welding Types 304H & 304 where temperature in excess of 700°F (371°C) requires additional creep strength. They can equally well be used for the welding of stainless steel Types 301, 302 and 305.
What is a 308 16 welding rod?
E308/308L-16 is an extra low carbon electrode for the welding of type 304L, 321, and 347 stainless steels. The controlled ferrite in the weld deposit gives excellent notch toughness at cryogenic temperatures.
What is 308 welding rod used for?

What is the difference between 308 and 316 welding rod?
Facts. 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which increases steel’s corrosion resistance. 308 stainless steel is the second-most widely used type of stainless steel and is often used to weld on 304 stainless steel, the most commonly produced type of steel.
What does the L mean in stainless steel?
low content of carbon
316/316L Stainless Steel: The ‘L’ Designation The L denotes the low content of carbon in the steel. 316L is best known among fabricators for being resistant to cracks after the weld process is completed. This makes 316L the preferred choice of fabricators who look to build metallic structures for industry applications.
Can you weld ss to mild steel?
Austenitic stainless steels such as grade 304 stainless or grade 316 stainless can be welded to plain carbon steel using MIG and TIG welding. When welding stainless steel to a dissimilar metal such as plain carbon steel, weld processes such as MIG welding that use filler material are preferred.
