Welding consumables are: Electrodes. Wire (lengths or rolls). Fluxes. Gases. Each consumable is critical in respect to: Specification / supplier. Condition. Treatment (if any).

In making fillet welds, pay particular attention to lead angles and work angles. The work angle is the angle between the electrode and the work in a plane at right angles to the long axis of the joint. The lead angle is the angle between the electrode and joint in the direction of travel.

The self-consuming technique can also be used for fillet welding in the vertical position by following the same steps outlined above for horizontal fillet welding.

A general purpose electrode, which gives the best appearance and is easy to use. Drying - easy. 1000C for one hour and stored at ambient for shelf life.

The identification of covered electrodes in EN 499 is as follows:Covered electrode, strength, Toughness, Chemical composition, covering, efficiency, positional capability, low hydrogen potential
