As a student or someone that is just trying to learn more about welding it is improtant to know these four rodes and how they are used. Ever rode has the identifing numbers on the back of the rode. The first two numbers will identify the tensile strength, the next number would be for welding position( note: one means in all position and the number two means only in flat and horizonal). The last number will be for the flux type and current, for example using 7018: the 70=tensile strength, 1=welding position, and 8=flux type and current.
