Khaleed Stainless stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of AWS Class E309/309H-16 Electrodes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They offer high-quality welding consumables specifically designed for stainless steel and dissimilar metal applications. These electrodes are crafted for welding 309 and 309H stainless steels, providing excellent crack resistance, impressive tensile strength, and a beautiful weld bead appearance. The 309H variant, with its higher carbon content, boosts creep strength and heat resistance, making it ideal for high-temperature environments. Users can expect smooth arc stability, minimal spatter, and easy slag removal, ensuring reliable weld quality every time.
The AWS Class E309/309H-16 Electrodes are made up of chromium (22–24%), nickel (12–14%), and carefully controlled carbon levels—standard for E309 and elevated for E309H to enhance high-temperature performance. These electrodes are known for their exceptional resistance to oxidation and scaling at high temperatures. Typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength ranging from 550 to 650 MPa, a yield strength of about 300 MPa, and an elongation of roughly 30%. Their weld deposits are robust, stable under thermal stress, and resistant to cracking, ensuring reliable performance even in tough service conditions.

Designed for welding stainless steel to mild steel or other stainless steel types, these electrodes offer high corrosion resistance. Typically available in sizes like 3/32″ to 1/8″ diameter, they provide excellent weld quality with minimal spatter.
These electrodes are ideal for general-purpose welding, offering good corrosion resistance for stainless steel applications. Sizes usually range from 1/8″ to 3/16″ in diameter, and they ensure smooth welding with light flux coatings for improved visibility and control.
Suitable for heavy-duty welding tasks, these electrodes enhance corrosion resistance and are used for thick stainless steel sections. Common sizes include 5/32″ to 1/4″ diameter, featuring a thicker coating for robust and stable arc performance.
We ensure full transparency of our AWS Class E309/309H-16 Electrodes with high-quality assurance. All orders are accompanied by all the necessary documents, such as a commercial invoice, packing list, fumigation certificate, heat treatment chart, and NABL-approved lab test report. We provide Material Test Certificate as per EN 10204/3.1b, PMI Test Certificate, 100% radiography test report, and Third-Party Inspection Certificate. Our comprehensive documentation is organized for maximum client satisfaction.
The AWS Class E309/309H-16 electrodes primarily are used on dissimilar metal welds particularly in joining other grades of stainless steels as well as where stainless steel may be combined with mild steel. These electrodes, in particular exhibit excellent corrosion properties, high temperatures strength, improved toughness, make them ideal usage in chemical processes, petrochemical, electrical power generation environments, and other marine environments. They are generally used for welding components exposed to heat and corrosive environments, such as heat exchangers, pressure vessels and pipelines.
