Where it's used
Structural Steel Connections
Welded connections in buildings and industrial structures must use electrodes matched to the base steel grade. Structural engineer specifies electrode type (E70 for Grade 250 steel, E80 for higher grades). We stock the standard AWS classes.
Field vs Shop Welding
Shop-welded connections use GMAW (MIG) wire for fast, consistent output. Field welds (on-site) often use stick electrodes (more portable, wind-tolerant). Specify your location and we will recommend the right process.
Corrosion-Resistant Welding (Coastal, Wet Environments)
Stainless steel welding requires stainless electrode (AWS E308L, E309L) and different shielding gas (argon, not CO2). Coastal buildings and marine structures need stainless welding.
How ordering works
Send your steel grade, base material, and application (structural, repair, fabrication). We will recommend electrode type (E70XX, E80XX, stainless) and shielding gas. For field welding, ask your welder's preferences.

Common questions about welding & metalwork supplies
What is the difference between E70XX and E80XX electrodes?
E70XX produces 70 ksi (480 MPa) tensile strength, suitable for Grade 250 steel. E80XX produces 80 ksi (550 MPa), for higher-grade steels (Grade 345+). Match the electrode to the base steel grade.
Can I use stick welding in the rain?
No. Moisture interferes with the arc and electrode coating. You need a dry tent or enclosure. FCAW (flux-core arc welding) is more weather-tolerant than SMAW.
How do I know if a weld passes inspection?
Visual pass: no cracks, consistent bead, no undercut. Structural welds get radiographic or ultrasonic testing per engineer specs.
