How long can you keep welding rods?
People also ask: How long will the welding rods last?
Some welding rods may go bad in as little as 6 months. Others can last for several years. The shelf life of your welding rod will be significantly increased if it is kept dry and away from moisture.
How can you tell if your welding rod is defective? If the rod has rust, if the flux is dry and powdery, or if it has softened, the rod should be discarded. Bubbles can form in the weld if welding electrodes absorb moisture from the flux.
How do you store welding rods?
Most rods can be used for a long period of time if they are kept in sealed containers. Stick electrodes may become brittle if they are exposed to humidity for prolonged periods.
