Silicon is added to the tig rods in production. Use a gas weld rod which does not have the silicon and the weld will be full of porosity.
for mig welding spatter can be reduced by amp, voltage and wire speed adjustment. check shielding gas. stick welding check the recommended voltage, amps and application for the rod you are using keep your arc short. tig welding, be sure you are using the proper tungsten, and shielding gas and filler rod for the metal you are welding, don't dip the tungsten. make sure the metal you are welding is clean .
When you heat a piece of metal so that part of it melts, that melted part can stick to another piece of metal and when it cools and hardens, the two pieces of metal will be connected by a very solid bond, effectively making them a single piece. That is welding.
The size of the welding rod needed to do the root pass should be the same as the root gap, although in practice, the most common root gap is 1/8" so that the size of the rod to do it is also 1/8".
Stick welding is a process in which a metal joint is fused together by the intense heat generated by an electrical arc. The "stick" in stick welding comes from the stick electrode that acts as the arc emitter and as a filler rod. It is used in various welding applications especially for heavy metal work. It is commonly used for this because of the ease of transmitting a powerful arc though the stick electrode.

Yep, you can weld steel to stainless and you can weld stainless to steel. You can use steel or stainless welding rod in either case but the steel or steel welding rod will of course rust.
Yes, you can weld steel to steel. You can use steel welding rod.
while doing the welding ,the weld metal should be deposit in the weld pool of parent material and electrode.In some type of welding like TIG ,the electode is not consumable ,it is used to create arc betwenn the electode and the parent material.In such cases,the filler metal or wire is used to join the parent material
in order to make a weld you need a welder The above post is a little simplistic but you basically weld using gas or electricity to melt the base metal allowing you to add metal via a flux coated or bare rod. If using gas to melt you would use a bare rod to add - if using electricity to melt you would add a bare rod (with a covering gas) or flux coated rod (which forms its own gas). There are so many welding processes that techniques and equipment vary widely.
Consumable electrodes actually form the filler metal of a weld. Stick and wire are examples of a consumable electrode. TIG on the other hand only produces the arc for the weld, and the filler metal is fed into it. The tungsten (the electrode) of a TIG torch does not enter the weld.

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.
Metallic Inert Gas Welding - It is a welding process that involves Electricity and a continuous Wire that is used for as a filler rod for the weld.
en 24 grade which welding rod use?
To get a smooth welding action, you need to strike a proper spark that gets the Rod melting properly.
Grind the surface of GI pipe lightly to remove the skin which is about 0.1 to 0.2 mm, than weld the MS pipe as per the wall thickness and use accordingly the welding rod at the required gauge / Dia of the welding rod. this works fine.
