What is a Carbon Steel Electrode?
A Carbon Steel Electrode is a welding rod designed for shielded metal arc welding. It features a carbon-steel core wire coated with flux, which stabilises the arc, shields the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination, and forms a protective slag layer as the weld cools.
These welding rods are primarily iron and carbon, with small amounts of manganese, silicon, and other elements. The carbon content plays a key role in determining hardness, ductility, and overall weldability.
Types and Grades of Carbon Steel Electrodes and Welding Rods
Carbon steel electrodes are classified according to the standard AWS codes. Each classification provides the welder with information on tensile strength, welding position, coating type, and recommended current.
