Professional welders, metal sculptors and artists, and garage tinkerers just putting some sheet metal together all use arc welding rods (AKA "welding electrodes” or “stick electrodes”). These rods are the filler metals commonly used in welding machines for strong welds. We carry a variety of rods to accommodate welding needs from tensile strength, positioning (all position, or flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead positions of the weld),and flux composition. If you’re welding tungsten, check out our tig welding rods, too. Other related searches include mig welding wire and brazing alloys.
