Material overview
Welding rods are supplied in a distinct form from continuous wire or loose powder. Keep the rod form, alloy specification and intended process explicit when requesting material.
Applications and selection
State whether the rod is a filler rod or a covered electrode and identify its intended welding or surfacing process. A trade name alone may not define the required consumable.
What to specify
Provide the classification or alloy, rod type, diameter and length, welding process and required quantity.
