Description
18/MO-221 2.0 x 500MM 0.5KG – TIG welding rod for stainless steel
18/MO-221 is a 316L stainless steel TIG welding rod designed for corrosion- and acid-resistant steel.
The alloy provides excellent corrosion resistance, smooth metal transfer, and good weld bead profile, making it ideal for marine and industrial stainless-steel applications.
It is suitable for bottom root runs and cladding operations on thicker materials, ensuring strong and clean welds.
For root welding, the groove can be filled using cast electrodes 18/8.
