Mitchell Stainless, a trusted manufacturer and supplier based in Hamilton, New Zealand, offers premium-quality AWS Class E317L-16 Electrodes developed for welding molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels. These electrodes are known for their smooth arc, excellent bead appearance, and reliable weld integrity. Mitchell Stainless emphasizes consistent coating quality and dependable performance to support fabricators working in corrosive environments. AWS E317L-16 electrodes are particularly suited for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance, especially against acids and chlorides, while maintaining strong and ductile weld deposits.
AWS Class E317L-16 electrodes deposit a low-carbon, molybdenum-alloyed austenitic stainless steel weld metal containing chromium and nickel. The added molybdenum improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while the low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation and improves weldability. The weld metal offers good tensile and yield strength, high ductility, and excellent toughness. These electrodes provide stable arc performance on AC or DC, with easy slag removal and consistent mechanical properties.

These electrodes offer robust resistance to corrosion and are designed for welding 317L stainless steel. They typically come in sizes ranging from 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter. Their light coating ensures ease of handling and a smooth welding arc.
Featuring enhanced protection against corrosion, these electrodes are ideal for welding 317L stainless steel under demanding conditions. They are available in diameters of 3.2 mm to 5.0 mm, with a thicker coating for increased durability and stability during welding.
These electrodes provide superior corrosion resistance and are suited for welding stainless steel in environments requiring high protection. Available in sizes from 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm, they offer reliable performance with a shielded arc to prevent contamination and oxidation.
Mitchell Stainless ensures the highest quality of AWS Class E317L-16 Electrodes through rigorous testing, including hardness, chemical analysis, PMI, tensile, micro and macro structural tests, pitting resistance, and IGC testing. We guarantee superior product performance with these comprehensive checks. Additionally, we provide all necessary documentation, including commercial invoices, packaging lists, and Certificate of Origin, legalized by the Chamber of Commerce or Embassy. Our Third-Party Inspection Certificate guarantees full customer satisfaction in pricing and delivery.
AWS E317L-16 electrodes are commonly used for welding stainless steels such as AISI 317 and 317L, as well as similar high-molybdenum grades. Typical applications include chemical processing equipment, pulp and paper plants, petrochemical facilities, and marine components exposed to aggressive corrosive environments. They are also used in pressure vessels, storage tanks, and piping systems handling acidic or chloride-rich media. In New Zealand’s industrial and fabrication sectors, these electrodes are trusted for producing long-lasting, corrosion-resistant welds.
