Stick welding

[LGMCAFEE@aol.com]

There has been a lot of number thrown out on rods without anyone talking  
about the polarity the rod should be run on. A  6010 and 7018 rod is a DC  rod 
run with the electrode holder on the + side which is reverse polarity. A  6011 
is an AC rod. That is the first thing you need to get right. I worked and  
welded on nuclear powerhouses for years and one think you won't see is pipe  
welding with a wire feed welder. Tig and stick is it so don't think stick  
welding 
is gone by the wayside.
