ESAB Welding Electrode OK 316L E316L-16 4.0x350mm 12.9Kg Made In Sweden (pack size : 4.3 KG )
The ESAB OK 316L Welding Electrode (Part No. 6398403020) is a premium AWS A5.4 / ASME SFA5.4 E316L-16 rutile-coated stainless steel electrode developed for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) of AISI 316, 316L, and similar molybdenum-alloyed austenitic stainless steels. Manufactured in Sweden, this electrode delivers outstanding corrosion resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and high-quality weld deposits for demanding industrial and fabrication applications.
With a 4.0 mm diameter and 350 mm length, the electrode is ideal for welding medium to heavy-gauge stainless steel components. Its low-carbon (L) weld deposit minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion while providing excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and aggressive chemical environments.
The rutile coating ensures easy arc ignition and re-ignition, stable arc characteristics, low spatter, and easy slag removal, producing smooth, uniform weld beads with excellent appearance and minimal post-weld cleaning. Suitable for all-position welding, the electrode is widely used in chemical and petrochemical plants, food and beverage processing equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, marine and offshore fabrication, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and stainless steel piping systems.
Supplied in a 12.9 kg box containing three 4.3 kg packets, the electrodes are moisture protected to ensure consistent welding performance, extended shelf life, and reliable results in both workshop and site applications.
