Description Electrodes are a consumable in the arc welding process. Electrodes come in a variety of sizes and shapes and are composed of a base metal alloy and a coating. The coating is typically made of a mixture of copper and phosphorus. The electrode is a consumable because after use, the coating is worn away and the electrode needs to be replaced. Electrodes are typically used in the arc welding process. Arc welding is a process where a current is passed between a consumable electrode and the work piece. The current heats the electrode and the work piece until the work piece melts
