Stainless Steel Welding Rods-Nikko steel NSK 308l-17- Size G.12/2.6 mm

The Nikko Steel NSK-308L (often designated as NSK-308L-17) is a rutile-type, extra-low-carbon stainless steel electrode designed for MMA (Manual Metal Arc Welding)
🔶Classification & Standards
✅ AWS Classification: AWS A5.4 E308L-17
✅ JIS Classification: JIS Z 3221 D308L-16 (or equivalent standards)
✅ Type: Rutile-silica coating with extra-low carbon
🟧Applications
✅ Primarily used for welding 18% Cr - 8% Ni austenitic stainless steels, most notably AISI 304L (as well as 301, 302, and 304).
✅ Extra-low carbon content (≤ 0.03%) prevents carbide precipitation and provides superior resistance to inter crystalline (intergranular) corrosion.
✅ Suitable for chemical plants, food processing equipment, brewery tanks, and general 304/304L fabrication.

🔶Welding Guidelines & Re-drying
✅ Polarity: Can be used with AC or DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive).
✅ Re-drying: If the electrodes absorb moisture, re-dry them at 150°C to 300°C for 30 to 60 minutes before use.
✅Technique: Keep the arc length as short as possible and avoid excessive weaving.
