What are the sizes of electrodes?

Selection of Correct Size of Electrode However commonly available electrode sizes are 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 4.0 mm and 5.0 mm. For special applications we have different size electrodes also. Some manufacturers use slightly different sizes like 3.15 mm for 3.2mm and 2.4 mm for 2.5 mm etc.

What size is 6013 welding rod?

Homdum 6013 MS Arc Welding Electrodes – Rod Size 2.50mm x 350mm (Pack of 20)

What is 312 welding rod used for?

NC-312 is a lime titania type electrode for all-position welding, depositing weld metal of29% Cr-9%Ni. As the weld metal contains large quantity of ferrite, its crack resistibilityis good. It is used for welding dissimilar metals and under laying welding of hardsurfacing. steel to austenitic stainless steel.

How do I choose an electrode for arc welding?

Factors for Selecting the Right Stick Electrode

  1. Base metal properties.
  2. Tensile strength.
  3. Welding current.
  4. Base metal thickness, shape and joint fit-up.
  5. Welding position.
  6. Specification and service conditions.
  7. Environmental job conditions.

What is the size of an arc welding electrode?

Arc welding electrodes are identified using the A.W.S, (American Welding Society) numbering system and are made in sizes from 1/16 to 5/16 . An example would be a welding rod identified as an 1/8″ E6011 electrode. The electrode is 1/8″ in diameter. The “E” stands for arc welding electrode.

What is the electrode orientation in plasma arc welding?

The plasma arc welding process requires a very precisely shaped, tungsten electrode. The tip of the tungsten must be kept concentric to the diameter to place it in the correct position centered in the plasma torch. This is a critical parameter adjustment in plasma arc welding.

What size electrode do I need for DC welding?

.005″ – .030″ 1/8″ (3.2mm) .010″ – .040″ 5/32″ (4.0mm) .010″ – .050″ 3/16″ (4.8mm) .010″ – .060″ 1/4″ (6.4mm) .010″ – .070″ Electrode Included Angle/Taper: Electrodes for DC welding should be ground longitudinally and concentrically with diamond wheels to a specific included angle in conjunction with the tip/flat preparation.

How do you identify arc welding rods?

Arc welding electrodes are identified using the A.W.S, (American Welding Society) numbering system and are made in sizes from 1/16 to 5/16 . An example would be a welding rod identified as an 1/8″. The electrode is 1/8″ in diameter.
