weld 1100 - shielded metal arc welding - College of Eastern Utah

Electrode Factors
Electrode Diameter Depends on:
– Base Metal Thickness >Welding Position
– Type of Weld Joint >Power Source Rating
The proper electrode diameter will produce a weld
of the required size and quality in the minimum
amount of time.
Deposition rate (lbs/hr) increases as the electrode
diameter increases.
