Chanchai Stainless in Bangkok, Thailand produces AWS Class E309/309H‑16 Electrodes, which are specially designed for high-temperature welding. These electrodes come in standard (309) and high-carbon (309H) grades, providing strong welding solutions for furnace repairs and alloy overlays. Known for their reliable arc and solid weld fusion, they meet the demanding needs of industrial components that face thermal cycling and atmospheric corrosion.
E309/309H welds include 23–26% chromium and 12–15% nickel, with increased carbon in 309H to boost high-temperature strength. The weld deposit typically achieves a tensile strength of about 550–650 MPa while maintaining good ductility. The high chromium and nickel content enhances resistance to oxidation, and the extra carbon in 309H improves creep resistance. These welds handle thermal fatigue and keep structural stability under tough conditions.

Designed for welding stainless steel to mild steel or other stainless steel types, these electrodes offer high corrosion resistance. Typically available in sizes like 3/32″ to 1/8″ diameter, they provide excellent weld quality with minimal spatter.
These electrodes are ideal for general-purpose welding, offering good corrosion resistance for stainless steel applications. Sizes usually range from 1/8″ to 3/16″ in diameter, and they ensure smooth welding with light flux coatings for improved visibility and control.
Suitable for heavy-duty welding tasks, these electrodes enhance corrosion resistance and are used for thick stainless steel sections. Common sizes include 5/32″ to 1/4″ diameter, featuring a thicker coating for robust and stable arc performance.
We ensure full transparency of our AWS Class E309/309H-16 Electrodes with high-quality assurance. All orders are accompanied by all the necessary documents, such as a commercial invoice, packing list, fumigation certificate, heat treatment chart, and NABL-approved lab test report. We provide Material Test Certificate as per EN 10204/3.1b, PMI Test Certificate, 100% radiography test report, and Third-Party Inspection Certificate. Our comprehensive documentation is organized for maximum client satisfaction.
These electrodes are often used for overlay welding and repairing parts of furnaces, heat-resistant boiler sections, and gas burner components. They work well in industrial furnace panels, reformer tubes, and pressure vessel overlays that operate at high temperatures. The 309H is especially effective in high-stress, high-heat areas such as burner sections and exhaust stacks.
