FAQs

What type of metal can I weld with these electrodes?

These electrodes are specifically designed for welding stainless steel.

What amperage should I use with these electrodes?

For the 3.2mm x 350mm electrodes, a welding current of approximately 100A is recommended for optimal performance.

Can I use these electrodes with both AC and DC machines?

Yes, these electrodes are compatible with both AC and DC welding current.

Are these electrodes suitable for outdoor or cold weather use?

Yes, they are designed to provide reliable results even in cold environments.

How should I store the electrodes to maintain their quality?

Store electrodes in a dry place, keeping the pack sealed when not in use, to prevent moisture absorption.

What does 'E316' signify?

The 'E316' designation typically refers to electrodes designed for welding 18Cr-12Ni-2Mo type stainless steels, offering enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly against pitting.

What is the weight of the pack?

This is a 1kg pack of electrodes.

Troubleshooting

Electrode sticks to the workpiece

Increase travel speed or slightly decrease amperage. Ensure proper arc length is maintained.

Inconsistent arc or sputtering

Check for moisture on the electrodes and store them in a dry place. Verify the correct amperage setting for the material thickness.

Poor weld penetration

Ensure the correct amperage is being used (around 100A). Clean the base metal thoroughly and maintain a consistent arc length.

Weld porosity

Ensure base metal is clean and free from rust, oil, or paint. Maintain a proper electrode angle and travel speed. Protect the weld area from drafts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile AC/DC compatibility for different welding setups.
  • Produces high-quality, corrosion-resistant welds.
  • Suitable for all welding positions, increasing project adaptability.
  • Reliable performance in cold environments.
  • Durable stainless steel construction for strong joints.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for stainless steel only.
  • Requires correct amperage (approx. 100A) for optimal performance.
  • Specific dimensions might not suit all specialized applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These electrodes are ready for use straight out of the 1kg pack. Ensure your welding machine is set to the appropriate current (AC or DC) and amperage (approximately 100A recommended for this size) before beginning. For best results, ensure the stainless steel being welded is clean and free from contaminants.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard AC and DC welding power sources. They are specifically designed for welding various grades of stainless steel.

Care: Store electrodes in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect weld quality. Keep the packaging sealed when not in use. Avoid storing in damp conditions.
