This reference chart is a guide to the properties and usage of
common arc welding electrodes. These are generic properties, there
will be
exceptions. Some manufacturers classify electrodes differently
to other manufacturers and some electrodes do not fall perfectly
into onecategory.
For a guide to the codes used on electrodes see electrode
classification
(http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/electrode-classification.htm) , and
formore information about which rods are suitable for which
materials see welding different steels

Other common types:Stainless steel rods are manufactured in many
grades and types and will be specific to use/ position etc.
Commongrades include 308l, 309l, 312, 316l.
Electrodes are available in many other materials for many uses.
Manufacturers websites/ data sheets/ technical departments should
beconsulted for type, use and availability.
