Choosing a stainless welding rod
Match the filler to the parent metal and the process. 308L is typically used on 304 and 304L stainless, 316L on 316 and 316L, and 309 grades when joining stainless to mild steel or other dissimilar metals. The L means low carbon. Choose stick for repairs and site work, TIG for clean, controlled welds on thinner material, and MIG wire for production welding. For the process choice, see our MIG vs TIG vs Stick Welding guide and TIG Welding Guide.
Keep electrodes dry in their sealed packs, and wear the right PPE, including a welding helmet and gloves.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the grade, diameter, position and polarity suit your parent metal and process before you order.
