What You Need To Know About Welding Stick Electrodes!
What are welding stick electrodes? A coated metal wire, made out of materials familiar to those metals that are being welded. These electrodes come in consumables and non-consumables types. A shield metal arc welding (SMAW) which is popularly known as a stick or electrodes are consumables that can be consumed during its use and metals with the weld. When it comes to Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG) electrodes are non-consumables so that gives them a grip and does not melt and becomes a part of the weld. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or MIG welding, electrodes are continuously fed wire. Flux-cored arc welding possesses a continuously fed consumable tubular electrode containing flux. How to choose welding electrodes? What's the Tensile Strength? How solid is the Ductility? Choosing an electrode is identified based on certain requirements of the welding project. A few out of the lot include Corrosion Resistance, Base Metal, Weld Position, Current, and Polarity. Your choice of
