Flux Coated / Stick

 

Flux coating is commonly applied to stick welding electrodes as well brazing rods or strips. Stick electrode welding or shielded metal arc welding is among the most widely used welding processes. The flux covering the electrode melts during welding or brazing, forming a gas, which shields the arc and molten weld pool. The flux also forms a slag that protects the cooling weld pool or braze joint. The slag must be chipped or brushed off the weld bead after welding. The flux coating also provides a method of adding scavengers, deoxidizers, and alloying elements to the weld metal.
