Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How should I dry the AWS E308-16 electrodes before use?

For titanium-calcium types, dry at 150°C for 1 hour. For low-hydrogen types, dry at 200°C to 250°C for 1 hour. Avoid repeated drying to prevent coating cracks or peeling.

Q: Which welding current is recommended for these stainless steel rods?

To prevent corrosion caused by overheating, the welding current should be approximately 20% lower than that used for carbon steel electrodes.

Q: Can these electrodes be used for all-position welding?

Yes, electrodes with a diameter of 3.0mm and below are suitable for all-position welding. Diameters above 3.0mm are recommended for flat and fillet welding.

Q: What are the primary applications of E308-16 welding rods?

They are primarily used for welding corrosion-resistant stainless steel structures (0Cr19Ni9 and 0Cr19Ni11Ti) in the chemical, petroleum, and power plant industries.

Q: How do I prevent intergranular corrosion during the welding process?

Keep the arc short, use a moderate current, and ensure quick cooling between layers. Maintaining a narrow bead is highly recommended.

Q: What is the difference between the titanium-calcium and low-hydrogen coatings?

Titanium-calcium coatings can be used with both AC and DC, though DC is preferred for better penetration. Low-hydrogen coatings are optimized for higher strength and reduced cracking risk.
