Best Answer

Welding Electrorodes or Welding Rods are used in arc welding. Arc welding is a special type of welding which uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between the base material (e.g. steel) and the electrode. The Welding Ectrorodes can be used for all weldable aluminum and mild steel.

What is the name of non consumable electrode?

There are no , non -consumable electrodes, there are slower consumed electrodes, as in TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding in which a Tungsten electrode is used , and in the hands of a very skilled welder , last the longest of all electrodes , but are in the end consumed.


Which electrode is used to weld stainless steel to carbon steel?

It depends on the type of stainless steel. Stainless steels come in various compositions and are identified by numbers and letters. Electrodes should be chosen that match these. For example when welding 316 stainless use type 316 electrodes. In a lot of situations you can safely use the next higher number. 304 stainless can be welded with 308 electrodes, 308 stainless with 310 electrodes. 309 electrodes are generally used to weld stainless to carbon steel.

What type of electrodes are used in MMA arc welding?

A huge variety of electrodes are available. MMA, SMAW, STICK WELDING are all the same process. Electrodes are produced to weld almost all metal and metal alloys. From steel to cast iron to aluminum to stainless steel to monels to ???? If it can be STICK WELDED an Electrode is made to do the job.


If electrode use in welding has moisture what effect will it have on the weld?

Electrodes with too much moisture may lead to cracking or porosity.


What type of welding which do not require a molten electrode?

TIG welding electrodes do not melt under most applications. Electrode means it carries electrical current. In MIG welding the wire becomes the electrode. In TIG and Gas Welding the filler material is called a rod. Stick welding uses rods called electrodes.


I have a chicago electric 180 acdc arc welder can i use the same welding rod for either ac or dc welding?

Some electrodes (welding rods) can be used AC or DC. Some are strictly DC. You may find that most electrodes run smoother on DC. Most industries purchase machines with DC capability.


What is the main difference between filler rods and electrodes?

Filler rods are used to add metal to a molten weld pool during the welding process and electrodes actually have electricity running through them to deposit metal into the weld with the exception of TIG welding where the tungsten electrode is used solely for heat.... Hope this was helpful
