Questions about this item
What AWS classification does the ER308L rod carry and what tensile strength does it deliver as-welded?
The rod meets AWS ER308/308L classification and provides 88 ksi tensile strength as-welded.
What physical dimensions must the welding setup accommodate for these rods?
Each rod measures 36 inches long with a 0.045 inch diameter, so the torch and feeder must accept that length and thickness.
How are these rods used in TIG welding and what polarity setting is required?
They are fed manually into a TIG torch running DCEN polarity for stainless-to-stainless joints on grades such as 304, 304L, 321 and 347.
