84563 - Avesta 317L-17 Stainless Steel Stick Electrode 1/8" (3.2mm) - 9.3lb Box

Premium Stainless Steel Welding Electrodes for Harsh Environments

The Avesta E317L-17 Stick Electrode is a high-performance consumable designed specifically for welding austenitic stainless steels of the 317 and 317L grades. This electrode is formulated with a higher Molybdenum content (typically 3-4%) than standard 316L electrodes, providing significantly enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. This makes it an essential choice for industrial applications involving halide-containing solutions, acidic environments, and high-temperature chemical processing.

Manufactured by Voestalpine Böhler Welding, the Avesta 317L-17 features a rutile-acid coating that delivers exceptional weldability. It is designed to operate smoothly on both AC and DC+ currents, offering a stable arc and fine metal transfer. The resulting weld deposit is clean, smooth, and free from significant spatter, ensuring high-quality joints that meet rigorous industrial standards. The low carbon content further protects against intergranular corrosion, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the weldment in service.

Packaged in a durable 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) box, these 3.2mm (1/8") electrodes are optimized for professional fabricators requiring reliability and consistency. Whether used in the pulp and paper industry, flue gas desulfurization plants, or petrochemical facilities, the Avesta E317L-17 provides the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance necessary for critical infrastructure.
