Among the variety of modern welding methods, the work of the welding electrode is still the most commonly used. To create a reliable seam, it is required to use not only a suitable in all parameters, but also just a high-quality electrode. It is not difficult to find products of the proper level today, the main thing is not to chase after cheapness and make purchases from trusted suppliers or manufacturers.
It has become very easy to find the necessary product, since any company or plant working in this direction has already acquired its own websites, where they post all the information about their products and how and where they can be purchased. Wholesale electrodes is not a problem. In a small batch, in a large ... Everything can be ordered directly on the sites.
The main requirement for welding today is quality and efficiency. Therefore, the necessary materials should always be at hand. Welding electrodes are consumable materials, which means that their stock should always be in stock.

What is a welding electrode? Many people are well aware of the answer to this question: a metal rod, at one end of which there is a coating. The composition of the coating is selected in such a way as to optimally perform work with specific materials and alloys in specific conditions. Now about two hundred brands of similar products are produced. There are also non-metallic electrodes.
The task of this element is to supply current to the work piece to be welded. Most of them are intended for manual arc welding. The length of the rod made from welding wire reaches 450mm. Most of the rod is occupied by the coating, that is, a mixture of various chemicals that enhance ionization and protect the weld pool from the adverse effects of air and metallurgical processing.
For the manufacture of these elements, a fairly large list of metals is used: cast iron, steel, brass, copper, tungsten, bronze. Non-metallic products are made from coal or graphite, non-melting ones - from tungsten. The products of this type, which are produced in the CIS, are more often represented by such brands as MR-3, MR-3S, UONI 13/55, OZS-12. These materials are most in demand when carrying out work with. responsible structures. They can be used to work in adverse conditions.
A high-quality electrode must carry out welding with a stable burning of the arc, ensuring uniform melting of the metal. In this case, its stable transfer into the weld pool should be observed. Among the quality indicators, it is worth noting the ability to protect the metal from air and ensure good formation of the seam. Another quality indicator is minimal waste and splashing losses, high productivity.
