What are the types of welding rods?

 

Welding rods are welding materials used for manual arc welding and usually contain a welding core and flux. Different types of welding rods are used for different welding tasks and materials. The following are some common types of welding rods:

Carbon Steel Welding Rods: Suitable for welding carbon steel and commonly used in general structural and manufacturing applications. Good general performance.

Stainless steel electrodes: Used for welding stainless steel materials to prevent oxidation and corrosion. Divided into 309, 310, 316 and other different grades. 

Aluminum welding rod: specifically for aluminum and aluminum alloy welding, there are different grades, such as 4043 and 5356, applicable to different types of aluminum alloy. 

Nickel alloy welding electrodes: used for welding nickel-based alloys, such as Inconel and Hastelloy, etc., suitable for high temperature and corrosive environments.

Copper alloy electrodes: suitable for welding brass and copper alloys, usually used in electronic equipment and piping systems.

Low Alloy Electrodes: Containing a certain amount of alloying elements, these electrodes are used for welding low alloy steels to improve the strength and corrosion resistance of welded joints. 

Hardfacing electrodes: Contain high hardness fluxes and are used in applications where resistance to wear and impact is important, such as excavator blades, mining equipment, etc.

Heat-resistant alloy electrodes: Used to weld high-temperature alloys such as tungsten and molybdenum alloys for high-temperature environments.

Low-temperature welding rods: for low-temperature environments, to maintain good toughness of welded joints at low temperatures.

Oxalic Acid Welding Rods: Used for welding cast iron, containing oxalic acid flux, suitable for repairing cast iron parts. 

Each type of electrode has its own specific use and scope of application, and the selection of the correct type of electrode is essential to obtain high-quality welded joints. When selecting a welding rod, it is necessary to consider the material to be welded, the application environment and the required mechanical properties.
