Low-carbon stainless electrode for 304L, with a high deposition rate
Kiswel KST-308L (AWS E308L-16) is a lime-titania stainless electrode for low-carbon 18% Cr - 8% Ni steels such as AISI 304L. Its high deposition rate delivers excellent welding efficiency. In 2.50 mm it is ideal for thin sheet and root passes.
Key advantages
- Low carbon: better resistance to intergranular corrosion.
- High deposition rate: excellent welding efficiency.
- All positions: flat, vertical and overhead.
- AC or DC: works with transformers and inverters.
- Certified quality: ABS, BV, CWB, GL, LR and TÜV.
Applications
- Low-carbon 18% Cr - 8% Ni stainless steels (AISI 304L).
- Stainless steel tanks, piping and equipment.
- Jobs that need high productivity thanks to its high deposition rate.
- Generally no preheat required.

Technician's tip: clean water, rust and oil from the bevel before welding; preheat is generally not required. If the electrodes picked up moisture, Kiswel recommends re-drying at 300 - 350 °C for 60 minutes.
