fogyóelektródával

Fogyóelektródával is a Hungarian term that translates to "consumable electrode" in English. It refers to an electrode used in welding and other metal fabrication processes that is designed to melt and become part of the workpiece. This is in contrast to non-consumable electrodes, which are intended to remain intact throughout the welding process and are used to transfer heat to the joint.

Consumable electrodes are typically made of the same or a compatible material as the metal being joined. As an electric arc is struck between the electrode and the workpiece, the electrode melts, depositing molten metal into the joint and thus forming a weld. This process is common in arc welding techniques such as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). The composition and form of the consumable electrode are critical to the weld's quality, determining factors like strength, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. Electrodes can come in various forms, including wires, rods, and coated electrodes. The coating on some electrodes provides shielding gas and deoxidizers, further enhancing the welding process and the resulting weld quality. The term "fogyóelektródával" specifically highlights the characteristic of the electrode being consumed during the operation.
