Chanchai Stainless in Bangkok is a well-regarded manufacturer and supplier of AWS Class E385‑16 Electrodes, designed for welding alloyed stainless steels using shielding gas. These electrodes provide precise arc linearity and smooth, tailored weld beads. Each batch from Chanchai Stainless meets strict quality control standards, making E385‑16 electrodes a trustworthy option for industries that need clean, high-quality TIG welds.
E385‑16 electrodes deposit alloyed weld metal with about 18% chromium, 8–10% nickel, and low carbon blended to meet stainless steel grade requirements. The resulting weld shows tensile strength of ~550 MPa, excellent toughness, and corrosion resistance. The controlled composition and deposition ensure a stable microstructure and ductility, making them suitable for pressure-retaining and hygienic assemblies that require minimal dilution.
