Stick Electrodes

Stick Electrodes for
Inspection-Quality Welds on Steel

These electrodes are low hydrogen for X-ray quality welds.

Stick Electrodes for AC Power Source
for Inspection-Quality Welds on Steel

These electrodes are designed for optimum performance when used with an AC power source.

Stick Electrodes for Steel

E6013 is excellent for joining misaligned pieces and welding thin metal under low heat. It deposits easily and smoothly.

Fast-Deposit Stick Electrodes for Steel

Make welds quickly with these fast-melting electrodes.

Increased-Penetration Fast-Deposit
Stick Electrodes for Steel

These electrodes penetrate deeper into the base material for higher-quality welds than standard fast-deposit stick electrodes for steel.

Stick Electrodes for Vertical and
Overhead Welding on Steel

Since they solidify quickly, these E6011 electrodes can be used for vertical and overhead welding.

Stick Electrodes for Stainless Steel

Weld stainless steel with these stick electrodes.

Stick Electrodes for Joining Cast
Iron to Steel and Stainless Steel

Made of 85% pure nickel, these electrodes join cast iron to itself, and to mild steel and stainless steel.

Stick Electrodes for Joining
Dissimilar Irons and Steels

Join gray iron, ductile iron, malleable iron, and alloy cast iron to themselves, and to each other.

Stick Electrodes for
Nonmachinable Welds on Cast Iron

These nickel-free electrodes make nonmachinable welds. They’re often used on machine bases, furnace grates, and exhaust manifolds.

Wear-Resistant Stick Electrodes
for Steel and Stainless Steel

Increase the wear resistance of your base metal, or restore a worn-down surface with these electrodes.

Stick Electrodes for Copper, Brass, and Bronze

Weld copper, brass, and bronze with these electrodes.

Stick Electrodes for Joining Dissimilar
Steels and Stainless Steels

Stick Electrodes for Cutting and Chamfering

These electrodes have a flux coating that produces good stability, speed, and performance when cutting and chamfering steel and cast iron.

TIG Welding Rods

TIG Welding Rods for Aluminum

Weld aluminum with these rods.

High-Strength TIG Welding Rods for Aluminum

Create 40% stronger welds than standard TIG welding rods for aluminum.

TIG Welding Rods for Joining Copper to Steel

Join copper, copper-silicon, and copper-zinc to themselves and to steel.
