What are Welding Rods?
Welding rods are used in shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding. A welding rod can also be called a welding electrode.
A welding rod is a mineral- and metal-powder-coated metal rod. The rod has two purposes: to provide filler metal to the workpiece and to conduct electric current to the arc.

What does a 5P welding rod mean?
A 5P welding rod is also known as an E6010 rod. It consists of an all-purpose filler metal designed for use with direct current (DC) and is suitable for welding pipes.
Which welding rod is the strongest?
TIG welding is often considered the strongest weld since it produces extreme heat and the slow cooling rate results in high tensile strength and ductility.
MIG is also an excellent candidate for the strongest type of weld because it can create a strong joint.
