Mitchell Stainless, a trusted manufacturer and supplier based in Hamilton, New Zealand, provides premium-quality AWS Class E310-16 electrodes for welding high-temperature austenitic stainless steels. These electrodes are designed to deliver smooth arc performance, excellent bead appearance, and strong resistance to cracking and oxidation at elevated temperatures. Mitchell Stainless ensures consistent coating quality and reliable performance, supporting fabricators in applications where heat and thermal cycling are critical. AWS E310-16 electrodes are ideal for joining high-chromium, high-nickel steels used in furnaces, heat exchangers, and other high-temperature service components.
AWS Class E310-16 electrodes deposit an austenitic stainless steel weld metal with high chromium (24–26%) and high nickel (19–22%) content. This composition provides excellent resistance to oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures, with good tensile strength, ductility, and toughness. The weld metal maintains mechanical integrity under thermal cycling and high-temperature service. These electrodes can be used with both AC and DC currents, offering stable arc characteristics, smooth slag removal, and reliable high-temperature performance.
