ESAB 165332R150 1/8″, OK Tigrod 309L Stainless Steel TIG Rods

The ESAB 165332R150 OK Tigrod 309L Stainless Steel TIG Rod is a 1/8″ (3.2mm) ER309L filler rod, specifically designed for TIG (GTAW) welding applications. This low-carbon stainless steel rod (≤0.03% C) is ideal for welding 309L stainless steel and dissimilar metal joints, such as stainless steel to mild or low-alloy steels. It is also commonly used for overlay applications, providing high corrosion and oxidation resistance in high-temperature environments.

With a minimum tensile strength of 85,500 PSI, this rod delivers strong, durable welds while maintaining excellent crack resistance. The 40-inch length allows for extended welding sessions, and the 5 kg (11 lb) box provides a reliable supply for industrial applications.

Features:

• ER309L Stainless Steel Filler Metal: Designed for welding 309L stainless steel and dissimilar metals.
• Low Carbon Content (≤ 0.03%): Reduces carbide precipitation, preventing intergranular corrosion.
• High Tensile Strength (85,500 PSI): Ensures strong, crack-resistant welds in demanding applications.
