Bohler Fox EAS 4 M-A 316L-17 Stainless Steel Stick Electrodes

Premium 316L Stainless Steel Stick Electrode Böhler FOX EAS 4 M-A is a rutile-coated, high-alloy stainless steel stick electrode designed primarily for welding 316L stainless steel and similar stainless grades. The fully alloyed core wire provides reliable corrosion resistance, while the electrode offers excellent welding characteristics, high current capacity, low spatter and self-releasing slag. It is suitable for welding on both AC and DC and is resistant to intergranular corrosion up to +400°C. Features: E316L-17 classification Designed primarily for 316L stainless steel Rutile-coated stainless steel electrode Suitable for AC or DC welding High current capacity Minimum spatter formation Self-releasing slag Smooth, clean weld profile Fully alloyed core wire for reliable corrosion resistance Resistant to intergranular corrosion up to +400°C Typical Applications Welding 316L stainless steel Welding similar austenitic stainless steels Welding stainless steels to similar or higher-carbon steels Welding stainless steels to ferritic 13% Cr steels General stainless steel fabrication across industries Mechanical Properties: Yield Strength: 450 MPa typical Tensile Strength: 580 MPa typical Elongation: 36% typical Impact Toughness: 60 J at +20°C Impact Toughness: ≥32 J at -120°C Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to intergranular corrosion up to +400°C Sizes Available: 3/32" - 2.5mm x 350mm - 4.1kg Can 1/8" - 3.2mm x 350mm - 4.1kg Can 5/32" - 4.0mm x 350mm - 4.3kg can 3/16" - 5.0mm x 450mm - 5.4kg can Specification Details Product Name Böhler FOX EAS 4 M-A AWS Classification E316L-17 EN ISO Classification E 19 12 3 L R 3 2 Electrode Type Rutile coated stainless steel Polarity DC (+) / AC Weld Metal Carbon (C) 0.03% Weld Metal Silicon (Si) 0.80% Weld Metal Manganese (Mn) 0.80% Weld Metal Chromium (Cr) 18.80% Weld Metal Nickel (Ni) 11.50% Weld Metal Molybdenum (Mo) 2.70% Corrosion Resistance Resistant to intergranular corrosion up to +400°C Redrying Temperature 120–200°C Redrying Time Minimum 2 hours CLICK HERE FOR FULL SPECIFICATION SHEET
