An Electrode Holder, commonly known as a stinger, is a clamping device for holding the electrode firmly in almost any position. The welding cable attaches to the holder during the hollow insulated grip.
What is a electrode holder?
3 Electrode Holder - The electrode holder connects to the welding cable and con- ducts the welding current to the electrode. The insulated handle is used to guide the electrode over the weld joint and feed the electrode over the weld joint and feed the electrode into the weld puddle as it is consumed.
What is a electrode holder made of?
Brass material
What is the electrode covering called?
flux
Can you use a damaged electrode holder?
Cables with splices within ten feet of the electrode holder shall not be used. Connections should be tight, clean, and dry. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
What are some of the requirements of an electrode holder?
They must be very flexible and have a tough heat-resistant insulation. Connections at the electrode holder, the ground clamp, and at the power source lugs must be soldered or well crimped to assure low electrical resistance.
What is the purpose of electrode holder?
The primary function of the electrode holder clamp is to support the electrode, guaranteeing a good electrical contact for current passage; it should also guarantee sufficient electrical insulation for the welding operator.
What can cause an electrode holder to overheat?
A properly sized electrode holder can overheat if its jaws are dirty or loose.
What are electrode holders?
Electrode holder is the insulated handle that clamps onto the electrode. The welder holds this device during welding to control the arc.
What are electrode holders made of?
Electrode holder is made of High Quality Brass material with Insulated Handle.
