Khaleed Stainless stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of AWS Class E317L-16 Electrodes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, serving industries that require top-notch welding solutions. These electrodes are specially crafted for welding 317L stainless steels and other molybdenum-rich austenitic stainless steels. Thanks to their low carbon content, they provide outstanding resistance to intergranular corrosion and help reduce the chances of carbide precipitation. Renowned for creating smooth, stable arcs and easy slag removal, these electrodes produce high-quality weld deposits that excel in resisting corrosion, even in tough service conditions.
AWS Class E317L-16 Electrodes are made up of chromium (18–20%), nickel (12–14%), molybdenum (3–4%), and carbon at ≤0.03%. The low carbon content enhances weld integrity and helps prevent sensitization. In terms of mechanical properties, they boast a tensile strength of around 550–620 MPa, a yield strength of about 300–350 MPa, and an elongation of 30–35%. The weld metal is known for its excellent ductility, toughness, and resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion in chloride and acidic environments, making it perfect for critical applications.

Khaleed 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.
The main application of the AWS Class E317L-16 electrodes is for welding in low carbon content applications on stainless steel. The electrodes are suited for welding austenitic stainless steels including 18-8 grades with excellent resistance to corrosion and pitting. It is applied in food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, power generation, and marine environments. This type of welding is more suitable for working with applications that are exposed to very high temperatures and corrosive environments.
