1.2TheMainWeldingProcesses

1.Rutile:

Generalpurposeelectrodesforapplicationswhichdonotrequirestrictcontrolofmechanicalproperties.Theseelectrodescontainahighproportionoftitaniumoxideinthefluxcoating.

2.Basic:

Theseelectrodesproduceweldswithbetterstrengthandnotchtoughnessthanrutile.Theelectrodeshaveacoatingwhichcontainscalciumcarbonateandothercarbonatesandfluorspar.

3.Cellulosic:

Inthisprocess,abarewireelectrodeisusedandashieldinggasisfedaroundthearcandweldpool.Thisgaspreventscontaminationoftheelectrodeandweldpoolbyair.Therearethreemainvariationsofthisprocessasshownbelow:

1.MIG（metal-inertgas）welding-Argonorheliumgasisusedforshielding.Thisprocessisgenerallyusedfornon-ferrousmetals.

2.MAG（metal-activegas）welding-Carbondioxide（usuallymixedwithargon）isusedforshielding.Thisprocessisgenerallyusedforcarbonandcarbon-manganesesteels.

3.TIG（tungsten-inertgas）-Argonorheliumgasisusedforshieldingandthearcstruckbetweentheworkpieceandanon-consumabletungstenelectrode.Thisprocessisgenerallyusedforthinsheetworkandprecisionwelding.
