Well-welded stainless steel, corrosion-resistant and with low spatter. AWS E308 electrodes for arc welding stainless steel, with a stable arc and clean bead, designed for jobs where corrosion is not an option.
They are the usual choice in the food industry, equipment manufacturing and marine environments, and let you weld stainless steel with any stick welder, without gas. Blister pack of 10 electrodes in 2.0 or 2.5 mm.
✅ Key benefits
Stable arc: easy starting and smooth behaviour.
Low spatter: less cleaning of the workpiece afterwards.
Corrosion resistance: designed for stainless steel in demanding environments.
Two diameters: 2.0 and 2.5 mm for thin and medium thicknesses.
🏗️ What it's for
Food industry, hospitality and commercial kitchens.
Stainless steel equipment and installations.
Marine environments and boating.
Repair of railings, tanks and brackets.
📋 Technical features
Type: AWS E308 stainless steel electrode
Diameters: 2.0 / 2.5 mm
Contents: 10 electrodes per blister pack
Uses: stainless steel in food processing, equipment and marine environments
Choosing the diameter
The 2.0 mm size is convenient on thin sheet and with small machines; the 2.5 mm size deposits more metal on medium thicknesses. If you need 316 stainless steel or a 1.6 mm diameter, there is also the 308/316 electrode blister pack.
💡 Vetonek tip: on stainless steel, use slightly less current than on carbon steel for the same diameter and brush with a dedicated stainless steel brush: a brush used on carbon steel leaves particles that later rust.
Frequently asked questions
What is an E308 electrode?
