Coated welding electrode, method for forming a weld bead, and method for forming a coated welding electrode.

摘要

A welding electrode comprising a metal core and a coating material that includes flux compounds is at least partially coated on an outer surface of said metal core. The tip of the welding electrode is beveled and a portion of the beveled tip has an end coating material which includes small particles of electrically-conductive material. The end coating may include gas generating material to provide shielding during a welding procedure, and a moisture pick-up resisting agent.
