E309L-16 Stainless Steel Arc Welding Electrode Blue Demon

E309/309L-16 stainless steel electrode is
ideal for joining stainless steels to themselves
or to carbon and low-alloy steels. Carbon
content in the weld metal is held to .04%
max which gives it increased resistance to
intergranular corrosion.
