Stick welding carbon and high-alloy steels

This thesis deals with analysis of manual metal arc welding method or method 111. In the research part of this thesis are discused principles of this method, welding power sources and additional welding material-coated elecrodes. Further the thesis is focused on the weldability of steels, especially carbon steels and austenitic stainless steels. In the experimental part was accomplished measurement of operational characteristics of coated electrods. Measurement was carried out on sample of cabon steel S235JR according to ČSN EN and austenitic stainless steel X5CrNi18-10 accordig to ČSN EN. The evaluation envolves a comparison of the results and their justifications
