SMAW Electrode Numbers Meaning

This video will be going over the breakdown of number on SMAW electrodes. Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also know as stick welding, has a precise system of numbers on its electrodes. I will be explaining what numbers are for the sensile strength of the weld metal, the position this welding rod can be used for, and what composition as well as articulation these welding electrodes can be used in.
This is all vital knowledge to become a Certified and Licensed Welder. I would recommend making flash cards on these details. More in depth explanations will be coming soon in future videos.
