7014 Welding Rod And Electrodes
When choosing a welding rod, there is quite a lot of choice and this choice can depend upon experience
and personal preference.
The 7014 welding rod is an easy rod to learn with and can make nice beads in the right hands. The 7014
rod is not a low hydrogen electrode and therefore does not have the storage requirements that you will
find the 7018 has. It is very user friendly, much more so than the 6013 rod and also has a great
deposition rate.

Welding Electrode 7014 Tips, Uses And Comparisons With Other Rods Like 7018
You will find the 7014 rods have a similar tensile strength per square inch as any other rods that are in
the 7000 series.
7018 and other such high tensile, low hydrogen electrodes must be dry or you weld with the risk of
cracked welding due to embittlement.
Once you break the factory seal you should store the electrodes in an electrode oven at the correct
temperature. Because of this, they are are not really suitable for people without the necessary equipment,
unless they are being used after unsealing.
Above all, find the rod that suits you. Whether it be a 7014, 7018 or a 6011. There is no definitive
answer to which is best. It all comes down to personal preference and the applications that you are
most likely to work with.
The most versatile machine is the TIG welder because you are able to weld a variety of metals.
Inferior machines cannot provide the precise welding at very low speeds. Electrodes do get burned
up pretty quickly which means you need to ensure that it remains at the proper distance to keep
up the arc.
