GYS Welding Electrodes 082335 2.5mm 316L Stainless Steel (Pack 10)

This is a stainless steel arc welding electrode designed for joining stainless steels such as 304, 308 and 316L, including pipes, tanks and other metal structures. It delivers smooth, consistent fusion and an attractive weld bead, with easy striking and slag removal. Manufactured by Gys, these European electrodes come in a 2.5 mm diameter and are suitable for use with standard arc welding equipment. The product is classified under EN 1600 / ISO 3581-A: E 19 12 3L R32 and AWS A 5.4: E 316 L-17, and is packaged in sets of 10 pieces.

In addition to good weld appearance, the electrodes are stated to offer excellent welding in all positions and straightforward slag removal, helping achieve high-quality results across a variety of projects. The specification notes a welding current range of 40–80 A and a minimum ignition voltage of 50 V, with a thickness suitability of 2.5–6 mm.

These electrodes are compatible with standard welding equipment and are intended for use on stainless steel pipes, tanks and pipelines, provided proper grounding is observed and appropriate safety measures are followed.
