1,000 Amp Stick Welding with

Did you ever think you’d see a 3/4“ diameter welding rod? Me neither! Jason from @ invited me down to their shop to let me run one of these monster electrodes. Not just any welding machine will run this thing either. We used the Red-D-Arc DC 1000 welding machine that was being fed by a large diesel generator to provide the current needed to weld the Coromet F25 electrode. After I weld it, Jason does a cut and etch so we can see the penetration this rod performed on the butt joint. The results were pretty amazing! This rod is actually used in a controlled and mechanized procedure and commonly used for the repair of slag pots in the foundry industry.
