Welding Rod for Stainless Steel

This TIG welding rod is classified AWS ER308L and intended for joining stainless steel grades 304, 304L, 304LN, 308, 308L, 321 and 347. It suits fabricators and maintenance welders who need a matching filler for common austenitic stainless applications.

Fits TIG Setups with DCEN Polarity

The rod diameter is .0625 in and overall length is 36 in, supplied in a 10 lb package. It requires a TIG power source capable of DCEN output and appropriate shielding gas. The 10 lb quantity supports extended production runs without frequent changeovers.

Replaces Mixed-Grade Filler Spools

When a shop standardises on ER308L for the listed grades, this rod eliminates the need to stock multiple diameters or classifications. The jump is worth it if current inventory includes separate rods for 304, 321 or 347 and weld procedure specifications allow a single filler.

Questions about this item

How long can a 36 in rod run before I need to reload the torch?

Each rod is 36 in long; the number of passes you get depends on joint design and travel speed, so plan reloads by measuring your typical bead length.

What amperage range keeps the ER308L rod from overheating during a full-day TIG session?

The rod is rated for DCEN current; set your machine within the 304/308 stainless range recommended by the torch manufacturer and use a foot pedal to manage heat input.

Which base-metal grades must already be in the shop for this ER308L filler to match?

The filler matches 304, 304L, 304LN, 308, 308L, 321 and 347 stainless grades; confirm your workpiece is one of these before welding.
