Welding Electrodes Questions
How many welding electrodes grades does AKWELD publish?
87 grades are listed on this page, each with the classification, chemical composition and, where the factory publishes them, mechanical properties and welding parameters.
Which classifications are covered?
Grades in this family are published against AWS A5.1, AWS A5.11, AWS A5.13, AWS A5.15, AWS A5.4, AWS A5.5 and matching EN ISO and GB/T designations.
Can I order a trial quantity before committing?
Yes. Trial quantities let your welding engineer run the grade on your own test plate. Email the grade and diameter you want to test and we will quote the trial quantity.
What information should I send with an enquiry?
The grade or the base metal you are welding, the diameter, the process, the quantity and the destination port.
