Chanchai Stainless, located in Bangkok, Thailand, is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of AWS Class E312‑16 Electrodes. These electrodes are designed for welding different types of metals. They work well for fusing chromium steels with nickel-base alloys. Known for providing a smooth arc and stable bead formation, they serve industries like power generation, petrochemical processing, and nuclear engineering. Chanchai Stainless ensures that each batch maintains consistent quality and performance, making E312‑16 electrodes a reliable choice for demanding and safety-critical welding tasks.
E312‑16 electrodes are made of 27–30% chromium and 8–10% nickel, with small amounts of manganese and silicon. The weld deposit shows tensile strength between 550 and 650 MPa, offering good strength and ductility. Its high chromium and nickel content provide excellent resistance to heat-induced scaling and thermal cycling. Together with strong toughness and structural integrity, these electrodes are perfect for welding in high-temperature, multi-metal configurations.
