## Summary description

Metalweld welding electrode INOX 308L, diameter 2.5 mm, designed for welding austenitic stainless steels. Provides compatible filler metal for creating corrosion-resistant joints in stainless steel assemblies. Suitable for manual metal arc (MMA) welding tasks in fabrication, repair and maintenance of stainless components in industrial and workshop settings.

## Long description

Metalweld INOX 308L welding electrode, diameter 2.5 mm, is designed for manual metal arc (MMA) welding of austenitic stainless steels. The electrode provides a filler metal compatible with 18/8-type stainless steel grades and is intended for fabrication, repair and maintenance of corrosion-resistant stainless steel assemblies in industrial and workshop environments. Its low-carbon chemistry reduces the risk of sensitisation during welding, helping to preserve corrosion resistance in heat-affected zones.
Advantages
The electrode offers stable arc characteristics and easy strike for controlled bead formation during MMA welding of stainless components. Its deposited weld metal provides good corrosion resistance and suitable mechanical properties for joints in austenitic stainless steels. The 2.5 mm diameter balances deposition rate and welding control, making it convenient for both thin and moderate thickness materials. The coating formulation promotes slag detachability and a consistent weld appearance.
Suitable for
 Welding austenitic stainless steel structures and assemblies
 Repair and maintenance of stainless steel equipment and piping
 Fabrication of kitchen, food-processing and chemical-industry components
 Workshop and on-site welding tasks requiring corrosion-resistant joints
Key specifications
 Electrode type: rutile/basic coated electrode for MMA welding
 Suitable base metals: austenitic stainless steels (Cr-Ni types)
 Filler composition: low-carbon stainless filler to limit sensitisation
 Diameter: 2.5 mm for balanced deposition and control
 Typical application current range: suitable for manual SMAW currents matching 2.5 mm electrodes
 Weld characteristics: stable arc, good slag detachability and consistent bead finish
How to use
Select an appropriate welding current and polarity for 2.5 mm MMA electrodes, clean the joint area from contaminants and ensure proper fit-up before welding. Strike the arc and maintain a consistent travel speed and electrode angle to achieve uniform penetration and bead profile. Allow slag to cool and remove it between passes; inspect each layer for defects before continuing. Follow standard safety practices including ventilation, eye and skin protection when welding stainless steels.
Usage recommendations
Preheat is generally not required for typical austenitic stainless steels; avoid overheating to reduce distortion and sensitisation. Post-weld cleaning and passivation are recommended where corrosion resistance is critical. Match filler choice and welding parameters to the specific stainless grade and service conditions for optimal joint performance.
