All welding consumables used in the welding production will be maintained and
controlled to remain, then supplies sound and acceptable. Handling of various
electrode types and different gasses used in welding fabrication and production that
requires critical post weld inspection needs special attention in performing task, like
how to prepare these consumables to produce quality and acceptable welds.
Electrodes are also selected correctly in accordance with electrode specification and
welding procedure requirements. Therefore, the student/welder will have to develop
their skills and knowledge on the maintenance and control of all consumables as well
as the correct choice of using them. Some recommended acceptable practices for the
maintenance, selection and control of welding consumables are presented.
1
Welding production and fabricators that usually accepts welding jobs are under
the weld code provisions. First and foremost is to come out with a standard plan for
electrode control and maintenance. Electrodes are kept in the stockroom for quite
some time because of the influence of atmospheric conditions. These electrodes must
pass to drying or baking process. All electrodes for baking will be removed from a
sealed plastic and will be placed inside the oven in a classified manner (based on
types and diameter size of the electrode) through the oven shelves and marked
accordingly. After loading, set the drying oven temperature from 2000 C – 3000 C
maintaining the temperature for a period of two hours. Once the maximum of drying (2
hours) is reached shut-off the oven.
After drying, remove the electrodes from the oven and store them in the storing
oven with a maintained temperature of 1500 C plus/minus 200 C. The electrode must
stay from the oven without reducing the temperature as per requirement. The
electrodes are maintained and controlled under the supervision of a storekeeper, as
he is responsible for the issuance of these electrodes to the welders and fitters.
2
Normally welders perform welding activities in the shop. In cases where welding
should be done on a worksite, he should provide himself with a portable oven
sometimes called welder’s oven. The welder’s oven should be plug to a power source.
The temperature that should be maintained is 700 C plus/minus 100 C. The unused
electrodes shall be returned to the storing oven after the end of day’s work.
3
Different types of electrodes, size, current, and power source are the
recommendable data for electrodes that can be the basis for selection. Only four (4)
types of electrodes are reflected in this information, but this will help you understand
their proper use and their existing specification. Further studies and search of
knowledge about electrodes, you will discover many things about welding
consumables.
The industrial gases must be stored in a separate storage room and must have
proper air ventilation. The place should be equipped with fire hazard signs and also a
unit of fire extinguisher to be installed in location near the series of filled full tanks for
accessibility. Cylinders must be provided with protection caps to prevent the valves
from being broken. Defective tanks, fitters and others must be separated and marked
defective.
