Description
Harris E309L-16 Stainless Steel Stick Welding Electrode
Harris E309L-16 stainless steel stick welding electrode is designed for SMAW / stick welding of stainless steels with similar composition in wrought or cast form. It may also be used for Type 304 and similar stainless steels, including L-series grades, where corrosive conditions exist, and for selected dissimilar-steel welding applications. The approximately 0.04% carbon content helps increase resistance to intergranular corrosion by reducing carbide precipitation.
Select the required electrode diameter from the product options above. All available variations are supplied in 10 lb tubes and are tied to the corresponding Harris item number, package weight, selling price and cost.

Why Choose E309L-16 Stick Electrodes?
Low-Carbon Stainless Electrode
The approximately 0.04% carbon content helps increase resistance to intergranular corrosion by reducing carbide precipitation in appropriate stainless steel welding applications.
Dissimilar-Steel Capability
E309L-16 may be used for selected dissimilar-steel welding applications. Confirm filler-metal compatibility with the applicable welding procedure, engineering specification and materials being joined.
Product Selection Considerations
Electrode Diameter
Select the electrode diameter appropriate for the base-metal thickness, joint design, welding position, amperage range and applicable welding procedure.
Base-Metal Compatibility
Confirm that E309L-16 filler metal is appropriate for the materials being joined, especially when welding dissimilar steels or components exposed to corrosive service conditions.
