Ampacity of SAE 316L for electrolysis process

[drortap]

Dear everyone,
We have an electrolysis cell with a DC power supply of 0-10V and 0-600A, and we want to work on 5 volts (our calculations based on the cell geometry give us that we are going to receive 400 amps).
Is someone know what diameter of SAE316L rod I need to hold that 400amps?
If someone has a handbook to recommend or a good website, I would appreciate it a lot.
Regards,
Tapiero Dror
