В магазине представлено множество электродов, which are suitable for arc welding. Some of the models can be used for metal surfacing. The main parameters of the electrodes include the maximum voltage deviation, temporary resistance and diameter.
Also, the electrodes differ in the consumption of weld metal. Sold models on the market in packs of 20-50 pieces. On average, they cost from 500 rubles.
How to choose electrodes?
It is more expedient to work with the pipelineselect electrodes with a small parameter of the nominal voltage. Many models are available with a cellulose coating. For surfacing of surface layers, they fit perfectly. It is also important to note that the parameter of temporary resistance should not exceed 300 MPa. To choose electrodes for working with carbon steel, it is necessary to look for models with rutile coating. The nominal voltage deviation should be about 6 V. On average, the temporary resistance parameter should be 350 MPa. Good electrodes in our time will cost 600 rubles.

If you believe the reviews of buyers, the model is well suited for working with carbon steel and stainless steel.
Расход наплавного металла у нее небольшой.For DC welding model is not suitable. It is also important to note that OK-46 electrodes are distinguished by a small deviation of the rated voltage. If you believe the owners, the sensitivity to rust is moderate. The minimum allowable angle of the electrode is 36 degrees. The brand is quite sensitive to pollution. Buy the electrodes (welding) OK-46 user can only in packs of 50 pieces. They stand on the market in the region of 750 rubles.
Characteristics OK-46 3 mm
These electrodes OK-46 (GOST 9466-75) areinexpensive and high viscosity. In many ways, this has become possible through the use of rutile coating. Relative lengthening of the mark is at the level of 20%. Temporary resistance is not more than 45 MPa. According to customer feedback, the model is suitable for work on the pipeline. With metal structures of various shapes, problems also rarely occur. This brand is sold in packs of 15 and 40 pieces. The price of such products varies around 600 rubles.
Application of electrodes OK-46 4 mm
Электроды ОК-46 отзывы имеют в основном positive. First of all, they are characterized by high-quality coating. For work on pipelines brand is used quite often. Directly the parameter of temporary resistance equals no more than 55 MPa. The significant diameter of the electrodes allows you to perform complex work with metal surfacing. The sensitivity to the edges of the model is low.
If you believe the owners, the flow of depositedmetal is in the normal range. However, there are still disadvantages. First of all, welders complain of rust sensitivity. Before using electrodes, the working surface has to be cleaned for a long time. At alternating voltage the model cannot be used. The minimum allowable angle of the electrode is 35 degrees. The impact strength of the presented mark is at 77 J. The user can buy OK-46 electrodes at a price of 650 rubles.
Model OK-46 5 mm
Presented electrodes OK-46 are sold withcellulose coating. According to the owners, the model is well suited for metal surfacing. The threshold voltage with reverse polarity does not exceed 12 V. For the short arc welding, the presented mark cannot be used. The maximum allowable tilt angle is 75 degrees. The parameter of temporary resistance lies in the region of 300 MPa. Directly coating provided for a small thickness. However, the consumption of this model is not very high. The user can buy OK-46 electrodes at a price of 650 rubles.
Model Abicor Binzel
These metal deposition electrodes are verysought after. First of all it is important to note that they are ideally suited for arc welding. Rust sensitivity is low. The indicator of temporary resistance does not exceed 33 MPa. In this case, the minimum allowable angle of inclination is about 35 garus.
If we talk about the minuses, the welders sayhigh deposited metal consumption. For the ceiling joint brand is poorly suited. The threshold voltage with reverse polarity does not exceed 9 V. The deposition rate of such products is not more than 8 g. You can buy electrodes in a store for 570 rubles.
Askaynak specifications
These electrodes are characterized by low sensitivity.to any pollution. Thus, the work surface can not be strongly prepared. For arc welding, the brand is suitable. The coating in this case is made of cellulose. The temporary resistance parameter varies around 340 MPa. According to the welders, the seam is accurate. Relative lengthening of the specified brand fluctuates around 25%. However, it is important to note that it is afraid of slag leaks. Also, these electrodes have problems with splashing metal. For carbon steel grade is not suitable for sure. In the store you can buy it at a price of 800 rubles.
Linkoln Electrode Application
These electrodes are suitable for working with edges, andalso by pipeline. They are also often used for welding metal structures. The threshold voltage of the brand with reverse polarity is at 22 V. The temporary resistance of the electrodes does not exceed 360 MPa. In this case, the minimum allowable angle of inclination is 23 degrees. Brand is used for metal surfacing. The seam in this case is quite neat.
If you believe the reviews of welders, the consumption ofThe electrodes are quite significant. The brand’s sensitivity to rust is low. The represented model is not afraid of slag leaks. The user can buy electrodes for the price of 760 rubles.
Lincoln Electric Model
These electrodes are fairly common.In this case, the impact strength is at the level of 22 J. The brand is not very sensitive to pollution. However, customers note that for an even seam, the work surface should be carefully cleaned. This model is not suitable for work on the pipeline. This is largely due to the low allowable angle of inclination.
Electrode Temporary Parameterequals 300 MPa. The deposition rate, in turn, does not exceed 9 g. If you believe the welders, then you can work with carbon steel safely. The threshold voltage with direct polarity is at 12 V. You can buy electrodes for 570 rubles.
