Electrodes
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1Base Metal PropertiesAn electrode must produce a weld bead with the same or similar chemical and mechanical properties as the base metal.
- 2Electrode DiameterThe diameter of the electrode. It should not exceed the thickness of the base metal.
- 3Joint Design & Fit upThe type and diameter of the electrode are influenced by the design.
- 4Weld PositionThe position of the weld joint must be considered when selecting an electrode.
- 5Welding Current + PolarityThe type of welding current and polarity, along with the type of electrode coating determine the melting rate of the electrode.
- 6Production EfficiencyThe faster the weld, the lower the cost. So the largest diameter electrode practical for the job.
- 7Service ConditionsMay require high corrosion resistance, ductility, or high strength at extreme temperatures.
