Stainless steel welding electrode BASIC series

metalrodcoated

Oxyturbo introduces a range of consumables with different functions according to the safety and welding operability requirements. The choice of coating is therefore very important and depends on the desired welding characteristics. Coated electrodes are composed of a core and a covering: The core consists of a conductive metal rod that has the sole function of adding material to the piece. The material of which it is composed depends on the base material to be welded. During welding, the core melts slightly before the coating. The diameter of the electrode is by convention that of the metal core. The coating is the most important part of the electrode and performs numerous functions: Protect welding from air contamination Stabilise the arc Contains material that can purify the base material and elements that can contribute to the creation of alloys in the melting
