OVERVIEW

The Go-To Rod for Stainless-to-Mild Steel Jobs

When you are out in the field or in the shop and need to join a piece of stainless steel to a mild steel bracket or frame, the ESAB OK 67.60 is the rod you want in your stinger. This 4.0mm E309L-17 stick electrode is built for exactly those tricky dissimilar metal joints that can cause headaches with standard rods. It lays down a smooth, consistent bead that bites into both metals securely, giving you a crack-resistant weld that holds up under pressure.

We know that fighting slag is the last thing you want to do after running a long bead. That's why ESAB designed the OK 67.60 with a special coating that makes the slag practically peel off by itself. You get a nice, shiny ripple pattern without having to hammer away at it. The arc is soft and stable, keeping spatter to a minimum so you don't burn up your gear or spend hours cleaning up BBs. It runs great on both AC and DC+, so whatever machine you have handy, this rod is ready to work.

This electrode is also perfect for putting down a buffer layer before you cap with a 308 or 316 rod, or for general cladding applications. The 4.0mm size allows you to fill joints faster than smaller diameter rods, making it a great choice for heavier plate or structural repairs. If you do maintenance work, repair heavy equipment, or fabricate custom parts, keeping a pack of OK 67.60 on hand ensures you are always ready for those mixed-metal challenges.

Why Welders Choose OK 67.60

Easy Slag Removal: Spend less time chipping and more time welding.
Versatile: Joins stainless to mild steel, low alloy, and carbon steels.
Smooth Arc: Runs like butter on AC or DC+, with very little spatter.
Crack Resistant: Formulated to handle the stress of dissimilar metal expansion.

FAQ

The ESAB OK 67.60 (E309L-17) is primarily used for welding stainless steel to mild or low-alloyed steels, as well as for depositing buffer layers on mild steel.

This electrode operates on both AC (Alternating Current) and DC+ (Direct Current Electrode Positive).

The '-17' suffix indicates a silica-titania (acid-rutile) coating type, which typically provides a smooth arc, fine spray transfer, and easy slag removal.

While it physically can weld mild steel, it is not cost-effective and technically unnecessary. It is designed for dissimilar joints (stainless to mild) or stainless-to-stainless welding of 309 grade.

No, the OK 67.60 is known for having self-releasing slag, meaning it often lifts off by itself or requires very minimal chipping.

This item is 4.0mm in diameter.

Like most stainless rods, they should be kept dry. If the pack is opened, storing them in a rod oven is recommended to prevent moisture pickup which can cause porosity.

Generally, E309L-17 rods are not recommended for vertical down welding due to the fluidity of the slag. Vertical up is the preferred method for vertical joints.
