Amer Stainless proudly presents AWS E310-16 electrodes, which are crafted from fully austenitic, high-alloy stainless steel. These electrodes are designed to tackle tough, high-temperature, and corrosion-resistant tasks. With E310-16 electrodes, you can expect stable arc performance, smooth ripple-bead welds, and effortless slag removal, all of which contribute to clean and reliable welds across various fabrication and repair projects. They shine when it comes to welding austenitic stainless steels, whether cast or wrought, and are also perfect for joining or surfacing carbon steels or low-alloy steels that require a 310-type stainless deposit.
When it comes to the chemical makeup of the deposited weld metal from E310-16, you’re looking at around 25–28% chromium and 20–22.5% nickel, with carbon levels between 0.08–0.20%. It also contains manganese (1.0–2.5%), silicon (up to 0.75%), and small amounts of molybdenum (≤ 0.75%), copper (≤ 0.75%), along with trace impurities like phosphorus and sulfur. On the mechanical side, the weld deposit boasts impressive tensile strength (usually ≥ 550 MPa), good ductility, and excellent elongation (often ≥ 25–34%), ensuring that your welds are not only robust but also maintain their integrity under stress or high temperatures.

E310-16 electrodes are a go-to choice for welding heat-resistant and high-temperature stainless steels, such as the 310 or 310S grades, especially in environments that demand resistance to oxidation and scaling at temperatures reaching 1100–1150 °C. They’re commonly used in the fabrication or repair of furnace parts, heat exchangers, boilers, headers, petrochemical equipment, and other pressure-retaining components. Plus, thanks to their ability to work well with dissimilar metals, they’re frequently utilized for joining stainless steels to carbon or alloy steels, as well as for cladding or surfacing operations where a stainless deposit is needed on lower-grade materials.
