Consumable – Stick Welding Electrodes (SMAW) Stick electrodes are covered with a flux that helps to protect the weld from undesirable contamination or oxidation During the welding process, the base material and the filler material (electrode) interact with the atmosphere (nitrogen and oxygen) which creates unwanted impurities
Classification of Welding Electrodes This classification is based on practical approach towards using and selecting welding electrodes The American Welding Society has classified electrodes in different formats for proper understanding of different electrodes easily and to identify them comfortably
The prefix "E" designates an arc welding electrode The first two digits of a 4digit number and the first three digits of 5digit number indicate minimum tensile strength For example, E6010 is a 60,000 psi tensile strength electrode while E10018 designates a 100,000 psi tensile strength electrode
Jul 13, 2016· An electrode or a welding rod is a wire which is made up of wire and is coated The electrode is made up of materials which are similar to that of the metals chosen to be welded Among all the other types of welding, the stick electrode welding is considered to be portable, simple and reliable

AWS electrode classifications Do you know what the numbers and letters on your filler wires and electrodes mean? If not, how do you choose the proper filler? This quick reference guide lays out what each designation stands for and what that means in relation to your weld Download this guide to learn the meaning of classifications like: E7018
The Different Types of Electrodes: What Do Welding Rod Numbers Mean? As you’ve probably noticed, different types of welding rods and electrodes come with letters and numbers These can seem like a foreign language if you’ve never learned about AWS welding electrode classification But don’t worry – we’ve got you covered
A key component in the welding process is the electrode or filler metal used in making the welded connection Metal from the electrode is introduced in the joint through the welding process, and this metal must be of the same or better chemical and mechanical properties of the materials being welded
Sep 23, 2020· ER– An electrode or filler rod that is used in either a MIG wire feed or TIG welding; 70– A minimum of 70,000 pounds of tensile strength per square inch of weld; SSolid wire; 6– The amount of deoxidizing agent and cleansing agent on the electrodeThis is a copper coating on the electrode and there are different types too MIG Wire Electrode Label Meaning for a ER70S6 Label
The two MMA electrode classification schemes that will be dealt with in this month's article are the EN (Euronorm) and the AWS (American Welding Society) specifications There is insufficient space to cover in detail the whole range of compositions for MMA electrodes so the emphasis here will be on the carbon steel filler metals
Aug 04, 2017· Welding is a process of permanently joining two parts by the application of heat and (or) pressureFiller metal may be added into the joint depending upon the welding process and the type of joint The American Welding Society (AWS) has recognized more than 50 different types of welding processes, some of them are very popular among the industries such as Shielded metal arc welding
