Positive or Negative Stinger Arc Welding: A Beginner’s Guide to Electrode Polarity
Electrode positive (DCEP) in stinger arc welding increases penetration. In contrast, electrode negative (DCEN) produces a flatter weld. In DCEP, the electrode is the positive pole, and the workpiece is negative. Select polarity based on desired weld characteristics and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the best results. Understanding electrode polarity is crucial in stinger arc … Read more
