MERIH STAINLESS, based in Istanbul, Turkey, is a reputable manufacturer known for its high-quality stainless steel welding consumables. Their AWS Class E310-16 electrodes are expertly crafted for welding austenitic stainless steels that demand outstanding resistance to high temperatures and oxidation. Produced under rigorous quality standards, these electrodes ensure stable arc performance, minimal spatter, and effortless slag removal. MERIH STAINLESS distributes these electrodes worldwide, serving industries like power generation, chemical processing, and furnace manufacturing, and offering reliable solutions for welding components that face extreme thermal conditions.
The AWS Class E310-16 electrodes boast a chemical composition of about 24–26% Chromium and 19–22% Nickel, which grants them excellent resistance to oxidation and scaling at temperatures reaching up to 1150°C (2100°F). With a carbon content of around 0.25%, these electrodes maintain impressive strength even at elevated temperatures. Their mechanical properties typically feature a tensile strength of ≥520 MPa, yield strength of ≥240 MPa, and elongation of ≥30%. The electrode coating provides smooth arc characteristics, easy slag removal, and a consistent bead appearance, making them suitable for all-position welding and ensuring durable, high-quality welds.
