The WIA Staincord 316L-16 2.6mm Welding Electrode (2.5 kg pack) is a premium arc welding electrode designed for fabricators and welders working with stainless steel. Engineered with a molybdenum-bearing, extra low carbon composition (19Cr/12Ni/2.5Mo), this rutile type electrode delivers high radiographic integrity and reliable weld quality in all positions except vertical down.

Featuring a moisture-resistant pink flux coating, the Staincord 316L-16 ensures stable arc performance, low spatter, and excellent slag control for clean, smooth welds. Its high arc stability and easy restriking capabilities make it suitable for use with low voltage AC welding machines, supporting efficient workflow in demanding environments.

This electrode is recommended for welding 316, 316L, and other common 300 series stainless steels such as 301, 302, 304, and 304L. It is also compatible with ferritic stainless steel alloys like 3Cr12, making it a versatile choice for a range of stainless steel fabrication and repair applications.
