Welding Rod Oven Temperature. When being reconditioned electrodes should not be baked for more than 4 hours and should be kept at temp for at least 30 minutes. The temperature may be as low as 500 degrees F or 600 degrees F depending on the welding standard cited to a maximum of 800 degrees F.
The temperature may be as low as 500 degrees F or 600 degrees F depending on the welding standard cited to a maximum of 800 degrees F. Welding Electrode Rebake Oven. So if the oven is at say 350deg and the rod is at ambient well call it 75deg - when you stick the rod in the oven at 350deg it is going to ramp up from 75 to 350 over time.
The calibration of weld rod oven temperature is achieved by means of a simple and cheap instrument called temperature switch or thermostatI dont know in the States but here in Brazil by paying a little more you can buy a temperature switch certified by Inmetro our local equivalent to the American Bureau of Standards.
This is an indispensable measure to ensure the quality of welding. As we mentioned earlier. A 7018-welding rod that is currently being stored at its designated 250 F in a rod oven should be used within 4 hours after removal from the oven at these temperatures. The temperature may be as low as 500 degrees F or 600 degrees F depending on the welding standard cited to a maximum of 800 degrees F.
