Welding Electrodes/Rods
Welding Electrodes/Rods are the flux-coated metal sticks consumed in stick (SMAW) welders: the core supplies filler metal while the coating shields the arc and weld pool. Unlike MIG wire or TIG rods, they are used one stick at a time with no external gas; buyers choose by the metal to be welded, coating type (cellulosic, rutile or basic), diameter, recommended current and welding positions. Store them away from moisture.

About this category
This class serves providing filler and arc shielding in stick-welding processes. Rod characteristics vary by model: base-metal type, coating composition (which may be cellulosic, rutile, basic, or other), diameter, length, recommended current, and suitable welding positions. Rod suitability for the target metal and working conditions varies by model and its specifications. Technical note: the rod is a consumable used within an SMAW welder; it does not replace the machine. This class differs from MIG wire or TIG rods in use mechanism and process. Uses: construction sites, metal-structure fabrication, industrial maintenance work, repair shops, and field installations. Operating considerations: selecting the rod type based on target metal and process classification, storage in appropriate conditions to avoid moisture, and using the rod per guidance. Model specifications, coating composition, diameter, and metal compatibility are reviewed in the product documentation before selection.
