Types of Welding Electrodes for Arc Welding: A Complete Guide to Their Uses and Applications
There are two types of welding electrodes for arc welding: consumable and non-consumable. Consumable electrodes, used in stick welding or shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), melt during the welding process to create the joint. Non-consumable electrodes, like tungsten in TIG welding, do not melt. Each type serves different applications in welding. Shielded Metal Arc Welding … Read more
