Nikkosteel Stainless steel welding electrode-NSK 308L-17

NSK 308L-17 is a type of stainless-steel welding electrode.

• AISI 308L stainless steel, commonly used for welding 304/304L stainless steel.
• “L” means low carbon, which helps reduce the risk of corrosion at the weld area.
• E308L-17 – the “-17” describes the electrode coating(Rutile/silica type) and welding characteristics under the AWS classification.
• for welding 18%Cr-8Ni Stainless Steel Grade 301/302/304/308 Excellent arc stability and low splatter levels All positional (except vertical down) Easy slag removal
• Sizes:G12 (2.6 mm)/G10 (3.2 mm) /G8 (4.0 mm)

• Welding characteristics

  E308L-17 is a rutile-type, AC/DC+ electrode with relatively easy arc starting and a smooth, stable arc. It generally produces a clean-looking bead and is suitable for positional welding.

  NSK 308L-17 is suitable for welding:

  • Stainless-steel tanks and vessels
  • Pipes and fittings
  • Kitchen/food-processing equipment
  • 304 and 304L stainless-steel fabrication
  • General stainless-steel repair and fabrication
