Welding Holder Meaning. The following are basic stick welding equipment. An electrode holder commonly called a stinger is a clamping device for holding the electrode securely in any position.
A holder for an arc welding electrode or the like comprising a pair of jaws for clamping the electrode one of the jaws being of electrically conductive material and having an extension an. Previously many people were using the CAW process but nowadays the use of this welding process has decreased. It is a clamping device that holds the electrode secure enough to enable you to weld in a variety of positions.
- The electrical conductor between the source of arc welding current and the electrode holder.
The electrical conductor between the source of the arc welding current and the workpiece. An electric arc from an AC or DC power supply creates an intense heat of around 6500F which melts the metal at the join between two work pieces. In various embodiments the contact bar may include an electrode holder capable of holding at least one electrode. - The electrical conductor between the source of arc welding current and the electrode holder.
