Types of stainless have a three digit number with 3 being the first. 302 is about the lowest quality used. 327 is one of the highest. The numbers represent the additions of Chromium and Nickel added to steel. 316 is considered "food grade". Any number below that isn't recommended for use in kitchen utensils. The added L states the it contains a lower amount of Carbon than 316. ELC means Extra Low Carbon content. Match the electrode (rod) to the type of stainless being welded unless directed otherwise.

Can 316L stainless steel be picked up by a magnet?
316L stainless steel is considered "nonmagnetic", but you shouldn't count that any individual piece will be. Cold working or welding can dramatically increase the magnetic permeability of the material.

Why does welding rod stick on metal?
To get a smooth welding action, you need to strike a proper spark that gets the Rod melting properly.
How do you weld cast iron with an oxy acetylene torch with a cast iron rod?
I am not aware of a cast iron rod for oxy acetylene welding, I am for arc welding, For cast, I use a brazing rod, a brass or copper alloy, but what do I know. If there is a cast rod available, it would be the same process, get the cast you are welding hot almost to the point of melting, bring in the rod, heat it at the same place and bring both to a melting point. Work from that point along the crack or joint you are welding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You need not use brazing rod for case iron welding. You get arc welding electrodes for cast iron. Use appropriate grade of rod for your case iron under welding.
