What is the process of manufacturing a welding electrode?

Question

Accepted Answer

Manufacturing a welding electrode involves mixing raw materials, forming the electrode, baking it, and packaging.

Raw materials such as metal powders, binders, and fluxes are mixed together in specific proportions.
The mixture is then formed into the desired electrode shape through extrusion or pressing.
The formed electrodes are baked in ovens at high temperatures to remove moisture and bind the ingredients together.
After baking, the electrodes are coated with a thin layer of flux to improve welding performance.
Finally, the electrodes are cut to the required length, packaged, and labeled for distribution.
Example: Raw materials like iron powder, graphite, and cellulose are mixed to form a welding electrode.
