FAQs

While both terms are often used interchangeably, there is a slight distinction. Welding rods are solid metal rods that melt to fill the weld joint, while electrodes are coated metal rods that provide shielding gas and additional alloying elements to the weld.

The choice of electrode depends on factors such as the type of stainless steel, the thickness of the material, and the desired weld properties. Consider the following:

  • AWS Classification: This classification system provides information on the electrode’s mechanical properties, welding position, and current type.
  • Base Metal Compatibility: Ensure the electrode is compatible with the specific grade of stainless steel you’re welding.
  • Weld Joint Design: The type of joint (butt, fillet, lap, etc.) will influence the electrode selection.
  • Welding Position: The welding position (flat, horizontal, vertical, or overhead) will affect the electrode’s performance.

Proper joint preparation is crucial for achieving high-quality welds. It involves removing contaminants like grease, oil, and mill scale. Proper fit-up is also essential to minimise gaps and ensure good penetration.

Porosity can be caused by various factors, including moisture in the electrode coating, improper welding technique, and insufficient shielding gas.

To prevent porosity:

  • Dry Electrodes: Ensure electrodes are stored in a dry, airtight container. 
  • Proper Welding Technique: Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
  • Sufficient Shielding Gas: Use the appropriate shielding gas and flow rate.

To clean stainless steel welds, use a weld cleaning machine, a stainless steel wire brush or a grinder with a stainless steel wheel. Avoid using grinding wheels that contain iron, as this can contaminate the weld. After mechanical cleaning, you can use a chemical cleaner to remove any remaining contaminants.
