Value Brand 41R362 36'' Welding Rod 1/8" Dia. AWS ER316L 10 lb

SKU CH-1GNT-TKYED

TIG welding rod in stainless steel ER316L, 36 in length and .125 in diameter, 10 lb pack for 316-grade joints

  • TypeWelding Supplies
  • ER316L grade matches 316 and 316L stainless for sound joints
  • 36 in rods give long reach in tight pipe work
  • 86 ksi tensile strength resists cracking under load
  • 1/8 in diameter suits standard TIG cups and torches
  • 10 lb pack covers extended fabrication runs

36-Inch ER316L TIG Rod for Stainless Steel

This 10 lb pack contains 36 inch rods with a 0.125 in diameter for TIG welding stainless steel grades 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444. The AWS ER316L classification delivers an as-welded tensile strength of 86 ksi and a yield strength of 58 ksi. Rods are designed for DCEN current polarity during the GTAW process. Suitable for fabrication and repair on matching stainless alloys.

Verify Base Metal Grade and Welding Polarity

Confirm the workpiece material matches the listed stainless grades before ordering. Ensure your TIG power source is set for DCEN polarity as specified for this rod classification. Check that your welding procedure accepts the 0.125 in rod diameter and 36 in length for the joint design. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Replaces Non-Low-Carbon or Mismatched Filler

Upgrades from standard ER316 rods when low carbon content is required to prevent carbide precipitation in corrosive service. The jump is worth it when welding 316L or 316LN base metals where intergranular corrosion resistance is critical. Not for carbon steel, duplex grades or applications requiring higher alloy content than 316L provides.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need anything else to start welding?

The package contains ten pounds of 36-inch ER316L stainless-steel rods at .125-inch diameter. You will need a TIG welder set for DCEN polarity, a compatible torch, shielding gas and personal protective equipment.

How do I choose between the listed material grades such as 316, 316L or 444?

Match the rod to the base-metal grade you are joining; the rods are designated for 316, 316L, 316LN, 316N and 444 stainless steels, so select the grade that matches your workpiece specification.

What does the 86 ksi tensile strength mean when I am actually welding?

An as-welded tensile strength of 86 ksi indicates the deposited weld metal can withstand high pulling forces, suitable for structural stainless-steel joints requiring strong, corrosion-resistant welds.
