MK316L-125E6 - Hobart E316L-16 1/8" Stainless Steel Stick Electrode 10lb Tube

Premium Industrial Stainless Steel Electrodes

The Hobart E316L-16 Stick Electrode is a high-performance consumable designed for the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and maintenance. Engineered with a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel core, this electrode provides exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it the preferred choice for harsh environments found in chemical processing, textile manufacturing, and pulp and paper industries. The "L" designation indicates an extra-low carbon content (maximum 0.04%), which is critical for preventing carbide precipitation during the welding process, thereby preserving the corrosion-resistant properties of the base metal even after heating.

Packaged in a durable 10lb tube, these 1/8-inch electrodes are optimized for supply chain efficiency and long-term storage. The E316L-16 classification signifies a rutile-type coating that delivers a smooth, stable arc on both AC and DCEP currents. This versatility ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial power sources. For MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) departments, the reliability of Hobart consumables translates to reduced downtime and consistent weld quality across critical infrastructure repairs. Whether fabricating storage tanks or repairing pharmaceutical piping, this electrode meets the stringent AWS standards required for code-compliant work.

Josef Gas ensures that your facility is stocked with fresh, high-quality consumables. The Hobart E316L-16 is specifically formulated to match 316 and 316L base metals but is also suitable for 318 types, offering a versatile solution for diverse stainless steel inventories.
