Stick welding with an arc welding machine uses flux-coated electrodes like these. Each rod has a solid steel core with a protective flux coating, which shields the molten weld and leaves a slag cover as it cools. The rods are 350 mm long and come in 2, 3 and 5 mm diameters, packed 60 to a pack.

Stick Welding Practicals in the Workshop
First-year welder trainees start by striking an arc on scrap plate with the Arc Welding Machine and running straight beads with a 3 mm rod. They learn to hold a short arc and a steady travel speed, then move on to butt and fillet joints in mild steel. Between passes the slag is knocked off with a Chipping Hammer and the bead is cleaned with a Wire Brush.
Teachers can run all three sizes on one plate, so students see how bead width and penetration grow with rod diameter and current. Students wear a Welding Shield Flip Up Lens Type and Welding Leather Gloves throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which electrode size should I use?
Match the rod to the metal thickness and to the current your machine can give. Thin sheet takes the 2 mm rod. Most general work runs well on 3 mm, and the 5 mm rod is kept for thick plate and heavy fillet welds.
What current should the machine be set to?
Thicker rods need more current. Start in the middle of the range printed on the electrode packet and run a test bead on scrap. A rod that keeps sticking needs more current, while heavy spatter and undercut mean too much.
How should electrodes be stored?
Keep them in the closed pack in a dry place, off the floor. A damp flux coating gives porous welds, a wandering arc and extra spatter. Rods that have taken up moisture can often be dried in an electrode oven, following the rod maker’s advice.
Why does the slag need to be removed?
The slag protects the hot weld while it cools, but slag left in place gets trapped under the next pass and weakens the joint. Chip it off once the bead has cooled a little, brush the surface clean and then lay the next run.
