Welding Electrodes

Welding electrodes, also known as welding rods or filler rods, are consumable metal rods used in various welding processes to join metals together. These electrodes are an essential part of arc welding methods, where an electric arc is created between the electrode and the base metal to generate the heat needed to melt and fuse the metals.There are different types of welding electrodes, each designed for specific welding processes and types of metals.Selecting the appropriate welding electrode is crucial for achieving high-quality welds and ensuring the integrity of the weld joint. The choice depends on the type of metal being welded, the welding process, and the specific application requirements. Welders need to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and welding procedures for the specific type of welding electrode being used to ensure optimal results.
