WELDING ELECTRODE, ROD AND WIRE

Welding consumable are the materials that are consumed by the welding process and arc. Welding consumables can be further divided into two categories: consumables for arc welding and consumables for resistance welding. The most common types of consumables for arc welding are electrodes, shielding gases and gases for plasma cutting. For resistance welding, the most commonly used consumables are wire, flux cored wires (FCW), coated strips, PAWs or non-consumable electrodes.
