Manual Metal Arc Welding(MMAW) Also GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) The MIG wire carries electric current so it is considered the electrode. TIG the Tungsten is considered an electrode.
Your question is incomplete. Which process? Which electrode? What is the basemetal, which position? etc etc

Flux core arc welding
We were told 309 was the electrode of choice.
friction welding can be used to join dissimilar metal. Also depending on the metals most arc welding processes and oxy-fuel can used. It's just a matter of using the correct filler material or electrode.

The letters EN , on a welding electrode , indicate "electrode negative" , that is the electrode is to be used with a DC current , in the negative position, or polarity.
If you are referring to the small unusable piece of welding rod that is left after welding, most call it a electrode stub.
Flux core arc welding
MIG
welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process
how do you calculate welding electrode consumption
yes
A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.
