SMAW - Electrode Classification

In this video I explore the welding electrode classification system for SMAW. I use several examples of electrodes that are used in industry, and I break down how to interpret the classification of said electrodes.
I also cover F groups, characteristics of the four F groups, and which electrodes belong to each of the four F groups.

What is meaned by basic coated electrode

[@BuenomusPrime]

Great question. So there are typically two types of electrodes, coated and uncoated. Uncoated electrodes are like those used in GMAW (MIG). Coated electrodes have a Flux coating; a layer of Flux that covers the electrode around its circumference.

why there is different types of rods?

[@BuenomusPrime]

Great question. There are different types of electrodes to meet the needs of various projects. The needs could be things like different kinds of metal, the position that the project needs to be welded in, and how strong the weld needs to be. It would be amazing to have "universal" welding electrodes, but we're not there just yet, at least not with SMAW.

"Muy Bueno" Bueno!

[@BuenomusPrime]

Haha, thank you very much!

[@theligonsfamily5565]

Is there any way I can get to talk to you personally what’s a good email for you thanks in advance

[@stevenbodum3405]

this classification system is shit compared to the european one. for example a 6013 can be a rutile or a rutile cellulose one in the smaw system both are the same.

[@BuenomusPrime]

You're definitely not alone, I have students that draw comparisons between what we use and what is used overseas.
