Welding Rod Oven
A welding rod oven is a device used to keep welding rods at a specific temperature before they are used in the welding process. This is particularly important for certain types of welding rods, such as low-hydrogen rods, which can be sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.
The ovens typically have a thermostat to control the temperature and maintain it at a specific level, typically around 200-300 °F. Some ovens can also have automatic humidity control to maintain the relative humidity around 40-50%.
Using a welding rod oven can help to improve the quality of the welds and prevent cracking, porosity, and other defects that can occur when using rods that have been exposed to changes in temperature and humidity.
