Arc Welding Rod Chart by

This document provides a chart summarizing different types of arc welding rods categorized by material type, including their AWS classification, recommended current type, welding positions, and typical weld results. It lists rods for mild steel, low hydrogen, stainless steel, and low alloy materials. For each type of rod, it specifies the AWS class, recommended current (DC reverse, DC straight, or AC), positions it can be used for, and characteristics of the resulting weld. The chart serves as a reference for selecting the appropriate rod based on the base material and desired weld properties.
