Packaging, storage, handling and repair of welding rods

‌The following points should be noted in the packaging, storage, handling and repair of welding rods:

First, the packaging and storage of welding rods should pay special attention to the following points:

‌Packaging‌: Welding rods are usually packaged in heat shrink film to ensure that the packaging is intact and avoid breaking the packaging during transportation, which may cause the welding rods to get damp.
‌Storage‌: Welding rods should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated warehouse. The indoor temperature should be 10~25℃ and the relative humidity should be less than 50%. Welding rods should be stored by classification, brand and specification, and kept at a certain distance from the ground and walls to ensure air circulation.

Second, the handling and repair of welding rods should be noted:

‌Handling‌: Handle with care during transportation, avoid throwing and hitting to prevent damage to the welding rod.
‌Repair‌: If the welding rod is damp, it can be dried, but the temperature and time need to be controlled to avoid damage to the welding rod due to excessive drying.
Finally, the use and management of welding rods:

‌Use‌: Before use, check whether the outer skin of the welding rod is intact and free of mechanical damage, whether the coating strength is qualified, and whether the eccentricity of the welding rod is within the allowable range. ‌Management‌: Establish a strict management system, including acceptance, storage, and distribution, to ensure the quality and safety of welding rods. ‌Through the above measures, the quality and use effect of welding rods can be effectively guaranteed.
