In appearance, the welding wire and the electrode are not the same concept, one is a line state, and the other is a metal rod.

electrode: generally solid metal rod, welding electrode, change to the welding current, arc with the welding device, and provide itself with filling, while the coating can play a protective role in the welding process and improve the welding process performance.

 

Welding wire is suitable for MIG, MAG, TIG and other welding methods, welding wire is divided into flux-cored wire and solid wire, its role is used to fill metal or conduct welding current.

From the welding process, it is easier to realize automatic welding, improve production efficiency and standardize welding. electrodes are more manually operated.
