TIG Welding Rod for Stainless Steel

This 10 lb pack of TIG welding rods is classified AWS ER316L and made from stainless steel. Each rod measures 36 in long with a 0.0625 in diameter. The rods are designed for joining stainless steel grades 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444 using DCEN current in GTAW processes.

Suited for Stainless Fabrication Shops

Welders working with matching 316-series stainless alloys will find the ER316L classification appropriate. Those needing filler metal for dissimilar metals, higher-strength joints or alternative welding processes such as MIG or stick should look at other product lines.

Confirm Alloy Compatibility and Power Source

Verify that the base material matches the listed stainless grades before ordering. Ensure your TIG power supply supports DCEN polarity for this rod diameter. Check local regulations regarding the Proposition 65 warnings for carcinogens and reproductive toxins.

Questions about this item

What TIG welding equipment do I need to run these 1/16" ER316L rods at the DCEN polarity specified?

You need a TIG (GTAW) power source capable of DCEN output, a suitable torch, argon shielding gas, and a 1/16" collet body.

How do these 36" ER316/316L rods perform when joining the listed 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N, and 444 stainless grades together?

They are classified for welding those exact grades, delivering 86 ksi tensile and 58 ksi yield strength as welded.

What visual and mechanical checks confirm a proper weld using these rods on 316L stainless?

Look for uniform bead profile, good fusion, no porosity or cracking; the joint should meet 86 ksi tensile and 58 ksi yield minimums.
