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.

What are the advantages of using thorium welding rods compared to other types of welding rods?

Thorium welding rods offer several advantages over other types of welding rods. They provide better arc stability, higher current-carrying capacity, and improved heat resistance. Additionally, thorium rods have a longer lifespan and produce less spatter during welding, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient welding process.

What are the types of rods use for welding stainless steel?

all stainless steal is, is painted harden steel with a special paint. They usually do not weld stainless steal they are all shaped when forgedStainless steel is NOT painted steel, it is "stainless" because the surface alloy contains significant levels of chromium which resists corrosion. Standard welding can destroy this chrome-steel alloy surface, leaving it open to corrosion at the weld, however there are welding methods that work with stainless steel, like electrical spot welding.
