Filler coating weight Vs Metal Weight
Filler coating weight Vs Metal Weight
(OP)
Dear Welding expert
I've tried to find a website or paper advising what is the standard rate of cellulose coating weight Vs Filler Weight.
Usually Welding electrode " SMAW Stick " weight = Cellulose costing weight + Filler Metal Weight .
Most of welding electrode QTY or weight " metal Deposit " calculator not distinguish between the weight of Metal or electrode overall weight.
I Appreciate your assistance in this regard.

Also, the cover material is a crusty, lightweight granular coating, and the rod interior is solid metal. Difference in total masses is significant. Difference in volume?
RE: Filler coating weight Vs Metal Weight
I do agree with you, but I need to consider all facts when i ordered welding electrode , especially when we are working on an politically not stable area like Iraq " currently we are there " where there is no future use for electrode surplus and cost of purchasing E7010 For instance is pretty expensive 7 USD per KG.
the electrode filler metal deposited on these categories " External Waste factors "
1- Welding of Joint.
2- Cut out waste of metal deposit . Depend on welding quality only
3- Welding repair waste of metal deposit . Depend on welding quality only
Internally " pertaining to electrode it self , we have these source of waste:
1- negligible weight wasted in spatter.
2- waste of electrode butts " 5 to 7 Cm among 35 CM electrode " cant be utilized .
We still need to consider all factors.
