ESAB 165316R150 1/16″, OK Tigrod 309L Stainless Steel TIG Rods

The ESAB 165316R150 OK Tigrod 309L Stainless Steel TIG Rod is a 1/16″ (1.6mm) ER309L filler rod, designed for TIG (GTAW) welding applications requiring high-strength, corrosion-resistant welds. This low-carbon stainless steel rod (≤ 0.03% C) minimizes carbide precipitation, reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion and ensuring long-term durability. It is ideal for welding 309L stainless steel, joining dissimilar metals (such as stainless steel to carbon or low-alloy steels), and overlay applications.

With a minimum tensile strength of 85,500 PSI, this filler rod provides strong, crack-resistant welds, excellent oxidation resistance, and smooth arc performance in high-temperature environments. The 40-inch length ensures longer welding runs with fewer interruptions, while the 5 kg (11 lb) box provides a reliable supply for industrial applications.

Features:

• ER309L Stainless Steel Filler Metal: Designed for joining stainless steel to carbon or low-alloy steels and overlay applications.
• Low Carbon Content (≤ 0.03%): Prevents chromium carbide precipitation, reducing the risk of corrosion and cracking.
• High Tensile Strength (85,500 PSI): Ensures strong, durable welds for critical applications.
• Excellent Corrosion & Oxidation Resistance: Performs well in high-temperature and harsh environments.
• Ideal for Overlay & Cladding Applications: Used for corrosion-resistant overlays and repairing worn surfaces.
• 40-Inch Rod Length: Allows for longer welding sessions with minimal interruptions.
• 5 kg (11 lb) Box: Ensures ample supply for fabrication and repair work.
