The number 16 in the e-308-16 electrode designation refers to the diameter of the electrode in 1/16-inch increments. In this case, it indicates that the electrode has a diameter of 1/16 inch, which is approximately 1.6 millimeters. This specification helps identify the size and suitability of the electrode for specific welding applications.
AWS = American Welding Society -- E = Electrode -- 60 = 60,000 lbs tensile strength -- 1 = all position -- 12 (1 and 2 combined ) = DC Reverse Polarity
yes
It stands for electrode. As opposed to R ( rod) for gas welding or TIG welding. If it carries electrical current it is an electrode.
Direct current electrode negative
E - Stands for Electrode 60 - 60,000 tensile strength. 1 - in all position welding can be done 0 - cellulose
E(SCE)-E(H)=241 mV @25°C SHE is a primary standard electrode bt SCE is secondary reference electrode use for more easier work than SHE & SCE,s potential also measured by taking SHE as reference electrode.
Direct current electrode positive
A rule of thumb is - the arc length should be the same as the diameter of the electrode. 3/32" electrode = 3/32" arc length. 1/8" electrode = 1/8" arc length etc. The thicker the electrode coating the shorter the distance from the end of the electrode to the work. Drag rods are contact rods. E-7024 is one.
E stands for electrode, 60 Is one tenth of the tensile strength in mega pascals. And the last two is polarity position and covering, so with a E6011 u have a cellulose electrode for all positions all polaritys with a tensile strength of 600 mega pascals.
The designation E6011 means: E=electrode 60=60,00p.s.i.tensile strength as deposited 1= all position 1=coating make up
