Steel electrodes and rods are. Not stainless steel.
what are gas welding limitation
in arc welding only heat is used to weld metal. but in resistance welding pressure will also be used along with heat.
The 'welding sparks' that come off during welding are metal particles from the filler metal, electrode, or base metal that are lost during welding. The standard term is spatter.
A.K.A. Gas Metal Arc Welding -- Semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
depending on the diameter of the rod, generally there will be approx. 26 (+/- 1) welding rods per pound.
Welding rods are fillers that add to the molten pool of metal. They are usually stronger than the metals being fused. In arc welding, they have a coating that burns and creates a shield around the puddle. welding rods are used for weld two pieces of metal together, or to cut metal if you have big enough rods and enough amps.
Welding with cast iron welding rods

The difference in the ac/ dc , or polarity of welding rods is in the makeup of the flux coating , or the alloy of the metal, and in the case of SMAW ( Shielded metal arc welding ) rods , which have a flux coating, are usually marked on the base of the rod.
The meaning of MPI in welding is Magnetic Particle Inspection.

why oxyacetylene filler rods cannot be used for gas tungusten ar welding
The new principal inside welding machines is based on metal-arc welding, whereas the older welding machines used electromagnetic winding to increase the current in welding rods.
The most common types of rods used for welding stainless steel are 308, 309, and 316. 308 rods are best for welding 304 stainless steel, while 309 rods are recommended for welding 309 stainless steel. 316 rods are suitable for welding 316 stainless steel and are also good for general-purpose welding of higher-grade stainless steels.
Yes..look up alumaloy welding rods
