6 Welding & Metallurgy Tools

Welding & Metallurgy Calculators

Determine professional welding setups, preheating conditions, steel grades equivalence lookups, hardness scales, and joint geometry.

Stick Electrode Sizing

Match stick electrode sizes (3/32", 1/8", 5/32") and classes (E7018, E6010, E6013) with optimal welding amperage ranges.

Electrode matching parameters

Electrode Class Nomenclature Tip

Take E7018 for example:
E: Shielded Metal Arc Electrode.
70: Minimum tensile strength is 70,000 PSI (482 MPa).
1: Can be welded in all positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead).
8: Low-hydrogen iron powder coating, runs on DCEP or AC.
