What Are Stick Electrodes?
Welding electrodes are metal wires with baked on chemical coatings. The rod is used to sustain the welding arc and to provide the filler metal required for the joint to be welded. The coating protects the metal from damage, stabilizes the arc, and improves the weld. The diameter of the wire, less the coating, determines the size of the welding rod. This is expressed in fractions of an inch such as 3/32", 1/8", or 5/32." The smaller the diameter means it requires less current and it deposits a smaller amount of filler metal.
These are a pound (1lb) of 14" Stainless Steel Stick Electrodes with 1/8" Diameter, E316L-16 AWS Classification
Features
- It has a maximum of .04% carbon content in the weld metal, which reduces the possibility of carbide precipitation and consequent intergranular corrosion.
- The electrode is used for welding type 316L or type 316 stainless steels.
- Widely used of chemical holding equipment.
- Conforms to certification: AWS A5.4 and ASME SFA A5.4.
