Welding Rod Type. Firstly carbon electrodes are usually used in arc welding and cutting. Its also known as electrodes or fillers as well.
The simultaneous melting of the flux coating on the rod will produce gas and slag which shields the weld joint from the environment. This welding rod is used to weld mild steels which is soft and easy to move. The welding electrode which is commonly known as welding rod is a piece of flux-coated metal wire that also acts as filler when used in the welding process known as the shielded metal arc welding or SMAW.

These welding rods are referred to as consumable electrodes. This particular series of welding rod is designed to work with stainless steel materials such as 301 302 304 and 305. It comes as a form of stick that is used to join different types of material.
