Suggested Holding & Baking Temperature For Welding Electrodes & Fluxes

This document provides recommended temperature ranges for storing and baking different types of welding electrodes and fluxes. It lists the electrode type, acceptable storage temperature and humidity ranges before opening, recommended oven holding temperatures after opening, and any necessary reconditioning or rebaking steps and temperatures if the electrodes have been exposed to moisture. The general guidelines are meant to ensure proper storage conditions and baking procedures to maintain electrode coating quality and avoid breakdown.

This table is offered as a general guide to proper storage and oven holding temperatures.
• Recondition/rebake procedures for electrode coatings exposed to moisture are included.
• Remove electrodes from containers before placing in ovens.
• Electrode coatings should not be exposed to the rebaking temperatures without first being reconditioned at a lower temperature.
Failure to   do so may result in breakdown of electrode coatings. After REBAKING, lower the temperature to HOLDING level
until reissued.
