Hi folks,
Whilst my welding experience is very limited, I've had some bad welding rods (mostly SIPs and Lidl "specials"). If we remove the variables like poor technique, rubbish welders, etc. how would you classify a "bad rod"? Secondly, what causes a rod to be "bad", is it the filler metal, the coating or a combination of both?
Just curious.
Regards,
Ian.
