Welding electrode

摘要

A metallic powder and flux-cored arc-welding or hard-surfacing electrode having improved metal deposition rate for gas-shielded arc-welding or hard-surfacing processes is disclosed wherein about 24 to about 35% of the total weight of the electrode is contributed by the core and the core is characterized by a relatively low flux content and high metallic powder content in the order of about 80% or greater, which metallic powder is preferably powdered iron.
