Stick Electrode
Stick Electrodes, are metal wires or rods with baked on chemical coatings, commonly used in welding activities. It is made out of materials with a similar composition to the metal being welded. Stick electrodes are consumable, meaning they become part of the weld, unlike the TIG electrodes, which are non-consumable as they do not melt and become part of the weld, requiring the use of a welding rod, therefore, it is under the category-Welding Consumables.

These welding consumables are mainly used in arc welding and oxy-fuel welding process. In arc welding technology, consumables are widely used in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), and submerged arc welding (SAW). Moreover, shielded gases are primarily used in oxy-fuel welding, gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), and gas metal arc welding (GMAW).
