What is the Production Method of Welding Electrodes?
Arc welding features three kinds of electrodes: non-consumable (“TIG welding”), consumable wire (“MIG/MAG welding”) and consumable flux-cored rod (“stick welding”). While the production methods for each type of electrode fall within the familiar scope of traditional metallurgy, novel developments involving rare elements add further layers of technical sophistication to the production of certain high-end varieties.
