Westward 3/32" E347-16 Stick Electrode

Westward 3/32" E347-16 is a stainless-steel stick electrode for SMAW welding. It meets AWS A5.4 classification standards. The electrode diameter is 3/32 inch and overall length is 12 inches.

Suited for 304L and 347 stainless grades

This electrode suits fabricators joining 304L, 304LN, 308L, 321, 321H, 347, 347H, 348 or 348H stainless steels. It operates on AC or DCEP current in flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical-up positions. It is not for buyers who need a different AWS classification or a non-stainless filler metal.

Minimum tensile strength 75 ksi

The electrode delivers a minimum tensile strength of 75 ksi. This figure determines whether the consumable meets the mechanical requirements for the intended stainless-steel joint.

Questions about this item

What welding machine output do I need to run these 3/32 in E347-16 electrodes?

The electrodes operate on AC or DCEP current; set the machine polarity accordingly and choose amperage suited to 3/32 in diameter stainless electrodes.

Can I use these rods on the 304L and 321 stainless pipe I already have in the shop?

Yes — the E347-16 classification covers 304L, 304LN, 308L, 321, 321H, 347, 347H, 348 and 348H grades, so your existing pipe is within the approved range.

How do I verify the weld deposit meets the 75 ksi tensile requirement after welding?

Perform a standard tensile test on a representative weld coupon per AWS A5.4; the deposit must show at least 75 ksi minimum tensile strength to confirm conformance.
