ESAB stainless steel electrodes for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) deliver strong, corrosion-resistant welds essential for demanding environments like chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Popular grades such as OK 67.13 and ESAB 309LC combine chromium and nickel to ensure toughness and crack resistance, even with challenging steels or dissimilar metal joints. Their coatings support welding in all positions with stable arcs, easy slag removal, and high-quality bead appearance.

Low carbon versions help prevent intergranular corrosion, ideal for stainless steels such as 304, 316, and 347. Suitable for use with AC and DC currents, these electrodes provide durable and radiographic-quality welds. ESAB’s stainless steel SMAW electrodes offer consistent quality, high performance, and reliability, trusted worldwide by professionals for fabricating and repairing critical stainless steel structures and components.
