Electrode Electrodes come either covered with flux, or just bare wire. In the field anelectrode is called a "rod" in stick welding, and "wire" for MIG and Flux Cored Arc Welding. Stinger What we call the ELECTRODE HOLDER in the shop or field.
Bead The deposited filler metal on and in the work surface when the wire or electrodeis melted and fused into the steel.
GMAW Gas Metal Arc Welding SMAW Shielded Metal Arc Welding Stringer bead A type of weld bead made without appreciable weaving motion Penetration Is the FUSION or depth into the PARENT METAL from its surface Flux Cleans the surface and when burned makes a SHIELDING GAS that protects theweld POOL, or PUDDLE from atmospheric contaminants that cause DEFECTS.
Slag When the FLUX on a welding ROD melts it produces the SHIELDING GAS toprotect the weld, and then forms a hardened protective coating over the weld. This has to be chipped off and thoroughly cleaned, usually by brushing. Lead angle The angle formed between the electrode and the work piece. Coupon A test piece of metal
Welding The fusing of two pieces of metal together. Pad of beads Stringer beads ran one next to another completely filling the pad
