The type of electrode that you select (unless it is stipulated on the drawing or by an authority) will be based on too many factors to list here. But here are a few.
To match the material to be welded.
To meet certain specs Ie. tensile strength, maleability, abrasion resistance,
protect the base metal from acids-corrosion-salt water-chemicals etc.etc.
To match the type of electrical current produced by the welding machine.
The position you will be welding. Flat,Vert,O-head,Horiz.
The amount of weld you want to lay down with each pass.
The thickness of the base metal.
The cost of the electrode.
Cleanliness of the material. Dirt, Paint, Zinc etc.

What is the meaning consumable welding?
Consumable electrode welding contain the processes where the electrode acts as the filler material and the electrode that generates the arc. Because the electrode is also the filler material, the electrode 'burns' or is consumed, hence consumable electrode.
What does the E stand for on a welding rod?
It stands for electrode. As opposed to R ( rod) for gas welding or TIG welding. If it carries electrical current it is an electrode.
What does en indicate on a welding rod?
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.
What does the 2 stand for in 6027 electrode?
The "2" in a 6027 electrode typically refers to the electrode classification. In this case, it indicates that the electrode is classified as a low-hydrogen, iron powder electrode. It specifies the type of welding process, position, and characteristics of the electrode.
What type of welding is E6022 electrode used on?
for welding dingeberries
Electrode that is used up during welding is said to be?
If you are referring to the small unusable piece of welding rod that is left after welding, most call it a electrode stub.
HOW TO SELECT THE BEST WELDING ELECTRODE?
Metals and thermoplastics can be fused together by heating and melting them together, a process known as welding. Here, an electric arc is created using electric power, and the heat it produces melts the metals. Expert specialists fuse two components together by passing current through a workpiece using a welding electrode. This is the course of arc welding. Consumable or non-consumable electrodes are available. Gas tungsten arc welding is an option for non-consumable electrodes and gas metal arc welding for consumable electrodes.The metals that need to be welded, the welding process, and the environment in which the electrode will be used all play a role in the electrode selection…Read More
