- An electrode is an
electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a
circuit.
- An electrode in an
electrochemical cell is referred to as either an anode or a
cathode.
- Welding electrodes are
metal wires with baked on chemical coatings. The rod is used to sustain
the welding arc and to provide the filler metal required for the joint
to be welded.
- In arc welding an
electrode is used to conduct current through a workpiece to fuse two
pieces together. Depending upon the process, the electrode is either
consumable, in the case of gas metal arc welding or shielded metal arc
welding, or non-consumable, such as in gas tungsten arc welding.
- For a direct current
system the weld rod or stick may be a cathode for a filling type weld or
an anode for other welding processes. For an alternating current arc
welder the welding electrode would not be considered an anode or
cathode.
- The metal-arc welding
electrodes may be grouped as bare electrodes, light coated electrodes,
and shielded arc or heavy coated electrodes.
- The type used depends
on the specific properties required that include: corrosion resistance,
ductility, high tensile strength, the type of base metal to be welded;
and the position of the weld that is flat, horizontal, vertical, or
overhead.
- Electrodes are made
using a metallurgical process in which powder is compressed and sintered
at high temperature to produce rods.
- The oxide additives are
generally dispersed finely in the tungsten powder prior to forming but
some products – composite electrodes
– are made up of a tungsten core
with an oxide coating.
- Spot welding electrodes
are subjected to the most severe service of any current carrying member
of the resistance welding process.
- These electrodes
must transmit both the welding current and the welding force through the
same area of contact, which is the weld area.
- To improve electrode
life during resistance welding of Zn-coated steels, TiCP/Ni coatings
were deposited onto the surface of electrodes by electro-spark
deposition. In addition, laser treatment was performed to eliminate
cracks formed in the as-deposited TiCP/Ni coating.
- Resistance spot welding
(RSW) is the primary method for joining sheet steel in the automotive
industries.
- Commercial production
of welding electrodes was started in India in early 1960s. At present
there are 28 organised sector welding electrode units with installed
capacity of 1054.61 million running meters in India.
- Basic technology of
welding electrode production was received from developed countries like
Sweden, Germany, USA, and UK through foreign collaborations and joint
ventures.
