Frequently asked questions

What are these electrodes used for?

SIFTRODE Stainless Steel MMA (stick) electrodes are designed for welding a wide range of austenitic and dissimilar stainless steels. They suit general fabrication, maintenance and repair work.

Which classifications are available?

This range covers 307, 308L, 309L, 312 and 316L classifications. Between them they handle standard stainless fabrication, dissimilar steel joints and difficult-to-weld materials.

What sizes and pack weights can I get?

They are available in 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm and 4.0mm diameters, in 1kg and 4kg packs. Choose the diameter to suit your material thickness and current setting.

Are they easy to use?

They are typically rutile-coated, giving smooth arc characteristics, easy slag removal and good all-position usability. This makes them straightforward for general fabrication work.

Why are they vacuum packed?

Vacuum packing helps keep the electrodes dry and in good condition until you are ready to use them. This supports consistent arc performance and weld quality.
