Electrode: An electrode is a solid electric conductor that carries electric current into non-metallic solids, or liquids, or gases, or plasmas, or vacuums. Electrodes are typically good electric conductors, but they need not be metals.

Welding Accessories: Welding gloves, aprons and helmets, dust masks, extraction systems and other safety equipment. Chipping hammers and wire brushes. Gas nozzles and contact tips for MIG/MAG welding. Tungsten rods for TIG/GTAW welding. Abrasive discs for angle grinders. Electrodes for resistance spot welding. Angle grinders. Electrode drying ovens.

Welding Holders: 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.
