product Welding rode and bare electrodes for gas shielded arc welding of structural steel
certification BIS ISI Certification
Standard IS 6419 : 1996
description The consumables used in gas-shielded arc welding methods for structural steel are welding rods and bare electrodes. To attach structural steel components precisely and firmly, gas-shielded arc welding, also known as Metal Inert Gas (MIG) or Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), depends on these electrodes. Bare electrodes are solid metal wires, whereas welding rods are usually made of metal wire coated with flux. In order to screen the weld region from airborne pollutants that might impair the weld joint, a shielding gas such as argon or a combination of argon and carbon dioxide is employed in both situations. Due to the flux's ability to protect the weld while also aiding in impurity removal and weld bead refinement, welding rods with flux coatings are widely used.
