Learn more about welding product technologies and solutions and which products feature them. The larger filler rod cools the weld pool more than the smaller rod so you might add about 5 amps if using 1 6mm filler rod. 6 common arc welding electrodes used for welding mild steel. Tig stands for tungsten inert gas named from the tungsten electrode and the shield of inert gas argon or argon mixture surrounding it.

Stainless is less thermally conductive than mild steel so heat does not flow away from the weld quite so quickly. There are a lot of other stainless steel filler rods like 316l 321 and others and if you know what you are welding its best to use a match. The next chart below is similar to the one above but it gives you more detail on the six top arc welding rods.

Ease of use easier to use products through auto settings and better visibility. Coating welding positions current and tensile strength for each arc welding rod. A tig welder needs a filler rod to provide the welding bead when joining two pieces of metal together tig welding produces no sparks or spatter because only the necessary amount of filler metal is added to. The following tig mig classifications for wire and rod can be used on sheet metal high pressure pipe and tubing.

These factors include but are not limited to the type of steel type of weld loading on the welded joint applicable codes level of preheat level of restraint position of welding condition of the steel and service conditions. Er308 and er308l one of the most common welding rods it s the choice for welding 304 stainless steel which is widely used in manufacturing as well as 200 series and other 300 series steels. Filler metal is selected for a specific application. Exaton formerly sandvik welding operations specializes in crafting the highest quality filler metals with unwavering consistency for welding stainless steel and nickel alloys in the most demanding environments.

For stainless sheet metal one size lower than you would use for carbon steel seems to help because typically less amperage is used on stainless steel than on carbon steel. The amps required to weld stainless are about 10 lower than the amps used for mild steel.
