These electrodes are low hydrogen for X-ray quality welds.

Stick Electrodes for AC Power Source
for Inspection-Quality Welds on Steel

These electrodes are designed for optimum performance when used with an AC power source.

Stick Electrodes for Steel

Stick Electrodes for Vertical and
Overhead Welding on Steel

Increased-Penetration Fast-Deposit
Stick Electrodes for Steel

These electrodes penetrate deeper into the base material for higher-quality welds than standard fast-deposit stick electrodes for steel.

Fast-Deposit Stick Electrodes for Steel

Make welds quickly with these fast-melting electrodes.

Stick Electrodes for Steel Pipe Welding

Stick Electrodes for Stainless Steel

Stick Electrodes for Aluminum

These E4043 electrodes are for aluminum 3003, 3004, 5052, 6061, and 6063.

Stick Electrodes for Joining Cast
Iron to Steel and Stainless Steel

Made of 85% pure nickel, these electrodes join cast iron to itself, and to mild steel and stainless steel.

Stick Electrodes for Copper

These electrodes are commonly used for metallic carbon arc welding of brass, bronze, and copper to themselves, and to mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.

Stick Electrodes for Joining Dissimilar Irons and Steels

Join gray iron, ductile iron, malleable iron, and alloy cast iron to themselves, and to each other.

Stick Electrodes for Nonmachinable Welds on Cast Iron

These nickel-free electrodes make nonmachinable welds.

Wear-Resistant Stick Electrodes
for Steel and Stainless Steel

Increase the wear resistance of your base metal, or restore a worn-down surface with these electrodes.

Stick Electrodes for Joining Dissimilar
Steels and Stainless Steels

Stick Electrodes for Cutting and Chamfering

These electrodes have a flux coating that produces good stability, speed, and performance when cutting and chamfering steel and cast iron.

Carbon-Gouging Electrodes

These electrodes cut as well as gouge aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and steel.

Stick Electrode Holders

Big-Grip Stick Electrode Holders

These holders offer more hand clearance than standard stick electrode holders.

Stick Electrode Holders

These holders have fully insulated bodies.

Carbon-Gouging Electrode Holders

Speed up weld removal, edge preparation, gouging, and repairs when you use a holder with your carbon-gouging electrodes.

Stub-Grip Stick Electrode Holders

For less waste, these holders grasp the electrode close to the end.

Stick Electrode Carriers

Protect your stick electrodes during transport.
