Electrodes - Stainless-Steel PLATINUM 309MoL
Platinum 309MoL is a very versatile 309 series stainless-steel welding rod, suitable for strong, tough & corrosion resistant welding of; Dissimiliar steel to stainless, matching 309/309L stainless-steels, CrNi & CrNiMo stainless-steels and hard-to-weld steels. Addition of 2.5% molybdenum (Mo) makes this electrode popular for welding clad steel (such as ferritic steel and Cr-Mo steel clad with 316/316L stainless-steel). Also used for buffer layers. All-positional (except vertical-down), smooth arc, low spatter, excellent slag control/detachability and high quality weld appearance. Classification: AWS E309MoL-16. Supplied in a 1kg re-usable convenience pack to keep electrodes in good condition.

I have used these infrequently over the last few years and find the packaging very handy for accessibility, storage and handling. The rods are fantastic to use and suit all the welders I have used during that period. I have recommended these rods to farmers and tradies as the go to. Its not often you come across a reasonably priced, easy to use accessible product.
