Aditya Stainless, a reputable manufacturer and supplier located in Kolkata, India, specializes in high-quality AWS Class E308/308L-16 electrodes, perfect for welding austenitic stainless steels like 304 and 304L. These electrodes are celebrated for their outstanding corrosion resistance, smooth weld finish, and user-friendly operation. Produced under stringent quality standards and advanced techniques, Aditya Stainless guarantees reliable mechanical performance and minimal carbon absorption, which helps prevent intergranular corrosion. Ideal for a variety of stainless steel fabrication and repair tasks, the E308/308L-16 electrodes from Aditya Stainless are well-suited for industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and general fabrication.
Aditya Stainless’s AWS Class E308/308L-16 electrodes contain about 19–21% chromium and 9–11% nickel, with a low carbon content that helps minimize carbide precipitation and enhance corrosion resistance. The “L” grade is designed to reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion in welded joints. These electrodes boast impressive mechanical properties, featuring a typical tensile strength of 550–620 MPa (80,000–90,000 psi) along with good elongation and impact toughness. The weld deposit showcases a well-balanced austenitic structure, providing stability under thermal stress. They ensure smooth arc performance, minimal spatter, easy slag removal, and high-quality, porosity-free welds.
