ESAB 251051801, ARCALOY, ELECTRODE, STAINLESS STEEL, 309L-16, 3.2MM (1/8), 4.5KG (10LB), AWS E309/309L-16

The ESAB 251051801 Arcaloy® 309L-16 Stainless Steel Electrode is a 1/8″ (3.2mm) stick electrode, designed for welding carbon and low-alloy steels to stainless steel. With a low-carbon E309L-16 classification, this electrode minimizes carbide precipitation, reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion and ensuring strong, crack-resistant welds. It provides excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for high-temperature applications up to 700°F (370°C).

With a tensile strength of 85 ksi and a yield strength of 65 ksi, this electrode produces high-strength, durable welds in flat, overhead, and vertical welding positions. The 4.5 kg (10 lb) package offers ample supply for fabrication, repair, and industrial applications. Meeting AWS E309/309L-16 standards, this electrode is commonly used in structural welding, pressure vessels, and chemical processing equipment.
