312 Stainless in a SMAW stick / arc electrode-Source?

admin

Relating to this video http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/tig-weld-1045.htmlI'm now using a  private labelled 3/32" arc rod to weld tabs on springs that I buy at Praxair(no not trailers)Based on this info in the video above, plus the same that Jody has mentioned as well as the rod compositions It's possible I can get a better priced generic rod of 312 stainless if I can find one.My LWS guy is uselessI've looked at the rod websites, but only found it in TIG rods, not Arc/stick/smaw Anyone know a Source??Last edited by 12345678910; 10-02-2013 at 05:48 PM.
