Selecting a stick welding rod can be a challenge, especially when you are just learning the basics of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). There are really 3 main types of electrodes and one main rod in each of these groups. Watch the full video where I break it all down in simple terms.

This is your electrode with flux. This is your electrode without flux. This is how poorly the electrode welds without flux...any questions?

A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t!

The flux is there to make a small atmosphere around the tip of the rid and seal in the molten metal from the surrounding atmosphere

We use to call those types of welds in the Navy... "Bird shit" welds

It’s hard to believe they welded ships and other large structures before the coated electrode was invented in Sweden by the guy who founded ESAB. I forget his name.

A very close friend of mine owns a very large welding business. Sometimes when all his guys are tied up and one of his longtime customers need something he will go out and do the work. A lot of times I go out with him. Since he's the owner and the boss he doesn't have all the things his guys carry. He showed me a trick using welding rods. Just like in this video he knocked off all the coating and then he used the rod as a filler almost like TIG welding but with stick welded. Then he showed me how to cut steel using a welding rod.

I enjoy watching things like this and I love seeing what happens to the rod after knocking off the coating. Did not know what to expect.

It helps strike and maintain an arc and prevents the rod from oxidizing in the air

I feel you. The melted flux produces co2 which protects the weld from impurities. Great video my man.

It makes your beads a lot easier to manage and better to control

That grinding disc is impressive

The flux is there to shield the weld from oxygen or anything to get in the weld hints why there is a coating of flux when you are finished welding

First thing I did when learning to weld with sticks👍

Atleast this way we know what is molten is just the metal and not falsely the slag. The reason I don't weld much at home is knocking sound removing the slag disturbing neighborhood. Maybe we can pump some inert gas to protect weld.

Still better than the welds I produce

Flux also have stabilizers

This is your electrode. This is your electrode on flux.

Porosity overload

I take it all those holes/pores in the weld are bad?

(I'm not a welder. Just like watching welding videos, and have only arc welded probably 5x in my entire life when I was younger).
