The Lincoln Electric E310-16 Stick Electrode (2.5mm) is a premium consumable designed specifically for high-temperature industrial applications. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the petrochemical and power generation sectors, this electrode deposits a fully austenitic stainless steel weld metal. The 25% chromium and 20% nickel composition ensures exceptional resistance to oxidation and scaling at operating temperatures up to 2100°F (1150°C), making it the ideal choice for fabricating and repairing furnace parts, heat shields, and high-temperature ducting.
One of the critical challenges in welding fully austenitic stainless steels is the risk of hot cracking or micro-fissuring. Lincoln Electric has addressed this by formulating the E310-16 with controlled low silicon and elevated manganese levels. This precise chemical balance significantly improves the weld metal's resistance to cracking during solidification, ensuring structural integrity in critical components. The electrode is designed for use with 310 and 310S base materials but is also effective for joining dissimilar metals where high heat resistance is required.
Operational versatility is a key feature of this product. It performs reliably on both AC and DC+ currents, providing flexibility for various power sources found in industrial maintenance and fabrication shops. The arc characteristics are smooth and stable, resulting in a flat weld bead with excellent slag detachability. This reduces post-weld cleaning time and improves overall productivity. While suitable for most welding positions, it is recommended for flat, horizontal, and overhead positions (excluding vertical down) to maintain optimal bead shape and penetration.
