Chanchai Stainless in Bangkok, Thailand, focuses on AWS Class E317L‑16 Electrodes, recognized for their ability to weld austenitic stainless steels in aggressive corrosive settings. These electrodes deliver great arc stability and wash, ensuring clean, high-quality welds. Made with premium alloy content and under strict quality control, E317L‑16 electrodes from Chanchai offer consistent performance, making them popular in chemical processing, marine, and desalination plant fabrication.
E317L‑16 electrodes typically contain 18–20% chromium, 12–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, with low carbon levels to avoid sensitization. Weld deposits show a tensile strength around 580–680 MPa, excellent creep properties, and resistance to chlorides and acids. The molybdenum-rich composition provides better pitting resistance than conventional 316-grade electrodes, especially in environments filled with chlorides. The low-carbon alloy structure enhances ductility and helps prevent intergranular corrosion.

These electrodes offer robust resistance to corrosion and are designed for welding 317L stainless steel. They typically come in sizes ranging from 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter. Their light coating ensures ease of handling and a smooth welding arc.
Featuring enhanced protection against corrosion, these electrodes are ideal for welding 317L stainless steel under demanding conditions. They are available in diameters of 3.2 mm to 5.0 mm, with a thicker coating for increased durability and stability during welding.
These electrodes provide superior corrosion resistance and are suited for welding stainless steel in environments requiring high protection. Available in sizes from 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm, they offer reliable performance with a shielded arc to prevent contamination and oxidation.
Chanchai Stainless ensures the highest quality of AWS Class E317L-16 Electrodes through rigorous testing, including hardness, chemical analysis, PMI, tensile, micro and macro structural tests, pitting resistance, and IGC testing. We guarantee superior product performance with these comprehensive checks. Additionally, we provide all necessary documentation, including commercial invoices, packaging lists, and Certificate of Origin, legalized by the Chamber of Commerce or Embassy. Our Third-Party Inspection Certificate guarantees full customer satisfaction in pricing and delivery.
These electrodes are used in making heat exchangers, seawater piping, offshore modules, and chemical tanks that handle sulfuric or phosphoric acids. They are also essential in the food and pharmaceutical industry for hygienic welds exposed to chlorides or cleaning agents. Their excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion ensures safe operations in aggressive conditions, such as brackish or saline water systems.
