Elektroodkeevitusena

Elektroodkeevitusena is a term referring to a welding process, specifically arc welding, where an electrode is used as a consumable. In this method, an electric arc is generated between the electrode and the workpiece. This arc melts the electrode and the base material, creating a molten pool that solidifies to form a strong joint. The electrode itself typically consists of a metal core that acts as filler material and is often coated with flux. This flux coating serves multiple purposes, including stabilizing the arc, preventing atmospheric contamination of the weld pool, and providing shielding gases. Different types of electrodes exist, each suited for specific metals and welding conditions. The process can be performed using either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), depending on the electrode and material being welded. Elektroodkeevitusena is a versatile and widely used welding technique found in various industries due to its relative simplicity, portability, and cost-effectiveness. Common applications include structural steel fabrication, pipeline welding, and general repair work. The quality of the weld is influenced by factors such as current, voltage, travel speed, and electrode angle.
