A 4 kg pack keeps a workable quantity on hand.<\/p>\n<h3>Key features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Afrox 308L welding rod<\/li>\n<li>2.50 mm diameter<\/li>\n<li>4 kg pack<\/li>\n<li>308L stainless steel grade, where the L denotes low carbon<\/li>\n<li>Supplied in new condition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Choosing the right one<\/h3>\n<p>Select the rod grade to match the base metal. 308L is commonly used for welding 304 and 304L stainless steel, so check that your welding procedure or job specification calls for 308L; for stainless-to-mild-steel joints a different grade, such as 309L, is usually specified. Diameter follows material thickness and current: a 2.50 mm rod suits thinner sections and lower currents than larger diameters. Confirm that the rod type suits your welding process and machine, keep rods dry in their packaging, clean the joint of paint, oil and scale, and run a test bead on scrap to set your current. Wear a welding helmet, gloves and protective clothing, and weld in a well-ventilated area, as welding fumes should not be inhaled.<\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand<\/th>\n<td>Afrox<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>SKU \/ model<\/th>\n<td>430075702<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Grade<\/th>\n<td>308L<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Diameter<\/th>\n<td>2.50 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Pack size<\/th>\n<td>4 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Common questions<\/h3>\n<details>\n<summary>What size is the rod?<\/summary>\n<p>It has a 2.50 mm diameter and comes in a 4 kg pack, which suits workshops that weld with 308L regularly.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What does the L in 308L mean?<\/summary>\n<p>It indicates a low-carbon version of the 308 stainless steel grade.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who makes it?<\/summary>\n<p>The rod is made by Afrox, and the 308L grade in the product name lets you match it to your welding procedure.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afrox 308L welding rod in a 2.50 mm diameter, packed in 4 kg, a low-carbon stainless steel grade for fabricators and maintenance welders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[333],"product_cat":[72],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-11047","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-afrox","product_cat-welding","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=11047"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11047"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veldkraft.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
