Shashank Stainless is one of the top manufacturer and supplier in Dubai, UAE. We specialize in high-quality welding consumables and products. We at Shashank Stainless are committed to excellence to a very large extent. We offer AWS Class E308/308H-16 Electrodes. These electrodes are extensively used for welding stainless steel. They are famous for excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and superior high-performance abilities. Our electrodes are suitable for all applications demanding exceptional welds in various industries. We maintain the very highest standards in welding technology and are committed to delivering your requirements on time.
The AWS Class E308/308H-16 electrodes have 18-20% chromium, 8-12% nickel, and carbon content up to 0.04%. They are applied in welding stainless steels, particularly grades 304 and 304L. The mechanical properties are high tensile strength, excellent toughness, and good resistance to oxidation. Superior weldability, minimal spatter and good corrosion resistance make them suitable for applications requiring strong, durable welds, such as in food processing, chemical, and marine environments.

Light-coated electrodes are ideal for welding 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, offering smooth weld beads with minimal slag formation. Available in sizes ranging from 3/32″ to 5/32″ in diameter, they are suited for applications where easy slag removal is essential.
Heavy-coated electrodes provide enhanced slag control and stable arc characteristics, making them suitable for high-heat applications. These electrodes come in sizes from 3/32″ to 5/32″ in diameter and are ideal for out-of-position welding due to their robust coating.
Shielded arc electrodes offer high weld quality with reduced spatter, making them excellent for shielded arc welding. Available in sizes ranging from 3/32″ to 5/32″ in diameter, they provide superior arc stability and slag detachability, resulting in cleaner welds.
We guarantee quality products such as AWS Class E308/308H-16 Electrodes that consistently pass all tests, such as hardness testing, spectro analysis, PMI, flaring tests, macro and micro tests, pitting resistance, and IGC tests. We ensure all documentation requirements such as commercial invoices, packaging lists, Certificate of Origin, and Third-Party Inspection Certificates to ensure the finest quality and satisfaction of our valued customers.
The AWS Class E308/308H-16 electrodes are mainly used for welding austenitic stainless steels containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. These welds find significant application in chemical processing, food processing equipment, and heat exchangers. They provide good-quality welds with excellent strength and durability by virtue of superior corrosion resistance. These are specially recommended for the welding of low-carbon and stabilized grades of stainless steel. E308/308H-16 electrodes are mainly used in automotive, petrochemical, and manufacturing industries for welding where good weld quality along with resistance to oxidation is desired.
