Njabulo Stainless, located in Cape Town, South Africa, specializes in manufacturing and supplying top-notch AWS Class E347-16 electrodes. These electrodes are specifically crafted for welding stabilized austenitic stainless steels, like grade 347. They excel in resisting intergranular corrosion and high-temperature oxidation, making them perfect for tough industrial applications. Njabulo Stainless guarantees that their E347-16 electrodes adhere to international quality standards, ensuring consistent weld integrity and durability across various sectors, including power generation, petrochemical, and chemical processing.
The AWS Class E347-16 electrodes boast a chemical makeup rich in chromium (17-19%), nickel (9-12%), and columbium (niobium), which helps stabilize the weld metal and prevents carbide precipitation. This results in welds that have impressive tensile strength—typically around 515 MPa (75 ksi)—and outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The electrodes are known for their smooth arc characteristics and attractive weld bead appearance, making them suitable for all welding positions.

These electrodes offer exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly against intergranular corrosion. Typically available in diameters of 1/16″ to 1/8″ (1.6 mm to 3.2 mm), they provide a lighter coating, facilitating easier welding with smooth, clean welds and minimal spatter.
Known for high corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments, these electrodes come in diameters of 1/8″ to 5/32″ (3.2 mm to 4.0 mm). The heavy coating enhances arc stability and provides a thicker slag layer, offering better protection and ease of removal for cleaner welds.
These electrodes deliver superior corrosion resistance and are ideal for high-temperature applications. Typically available in diameters of 3/32″ to 1/8″ (2.4 mm to 3.2 mm), they are designed for shielded arc welding, ensuring stable arcs and good weld integrity in challenging conditions.
These electrodes are commonly used for welding stabilized stainless steel components that face high temperatures and corrosive environments, such as boilers, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels. They deliver strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant welds. Thanks to their exceptional performance under thermal cycling and harsh service conditions, AWS Class E347-16 electrodes are a go-to choice for fabrication and repair in demanding industrial settings.
They are mainly used to weld stainless steel structures that would require high intergranular resistance, such as in hot temperatures or corrosive environments. Welding 18-8 chromium-nickel stainless steels, and their derivative, these AWS Class E347-16 electrodes provide excellent weldability and resistance to stress. Common applications include the aerospace, chemical, petrochemical and food processing industries, as well as in power generation and heavy-duty machinery, where superior corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance are essential.
