COATED ELECTRODES
STAINLESS STEEL 308L
Rutilo-basic electrode with very low carbon content, designed for welding 
austenitic stainless steels without molybdenum type 18/8 (304, 304L). It has 
high corrosion resistance in an oxidized environment and is suitable for all po-
sitions. It is recommended as a first pass in all cases where regular penetration 
and good compactness are required.
Application
• Petrochemical, chemical, maritime & food industries.
• Pipes and tanks.
Products
• Smooth and regular fusion.
• Cord of beautiful appearance.
• Welding of stainless steel 304, 308, 188 and 1883.
• Good detachment from the slag.
• High resistance to corrosion in an oxidizing environment.
Positions and polarity
Starting from 40V - Direct current.
