Welding Electrode. When you keep electrode tip near the parent metal electric current jumps from the electrode tip to the parent metal. Welding electrode welding rod E7016 application.
Depending upon the process the electrode is either consumable in the case of gas metal arc welding or shielded metal arc welding or non-consumable such as in gas tungsten arc welding. 1 In shield metal arc welding SMAW also known as stick electrodes are consumable which means that the electrode is consumed during its use and melts with the weld. 8 Indicates the coating penetration and current type used.
Measured in thousands of pounds per square inch.
In welding an electric current is conducted through an electrode which is used to join the parent metals. Since 1977 CARBO-WELD has been producing a wide range of welding electrodes and flux cored wires based on. The arc burns between the workpiece and the electrode.
