Describe the effect of shielded metal arc welding electrode selection on distortion.

What will be an ideal response?


Welding electrodes that will operate on low-amperage settings will have less heat input and cause less distortion. Welding electrodes that have a high rate of deposition (fills the joint rapidly) and can travel faster will also cause less distortion. For example, the flux on an E7024 has 50% iron powder, which gives it a faster fill rate and allows it to travel faster, resulting in less distortion of the metal being welded.
