welding electrodes

Welding electrodes are rods or wires that conduct electricity to create an arc during the welding process. They are crucial for joining metals together. There are two main types: consumable electrodes, which melt and become part of the weld, and non-consumable electrodes, which do not melt but help direct the welding current. The choice of electrode depends on the materials being welded and the welding method used. Proper selection ensures strong, durable welds, making them essential in construction, manufacturing, and repair work.
