Welding Electrodes (SMAW / Stick Electrodes/ Coated Electrodes)
SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), or stick welding, is used for mild steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, duplex & super duplex, hardfacing, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. These electrodes provide excellent arc stability, high deposition rates, and mechanical properties, suitable for fabrication, construction, pipelines, offshore, and chemical industries.
We stock all AWS/ASME/ISO classified electrodes, including main grades and subgrades (e.g., E7018-1, E8018-B2, E8018-C3, E11018, E12018)
