Fuse Metals Together With Welding Rods

Use welding rods and welding sticks to bond two metals together with a strong connection. When you use a welding torch, the rod melts and drips in between the two metal parts you want to bond together. The welding rod then hardens again when cooled, acting as a nice adhesive so the parts remain in one piece.


Welding rods come in various classifications. A 7018-welding rod is a general-purpose rod, ideally used for welding carbon steel and similar metals. This rod provides a crack-free seal with impressive tensile strength for durability.


If you want to seal cracks or reinforce weak bonds, try aluminum welding rods, which are lightweight and easy to reposition. Copper welding rods work to insulate both heat and electricity better than other metal alloys. Brazing rods are great for soldering aluminum windows, gutters and siding. Use a propane or aluminum welding torch with brazing rods to form the aluminum joint.


There’s much to learn when preparing for a do-it-yourself welding project. Read our guide on the subject, Welding for Beginners: Tools and Tips, for help in choosing a welder and in learning about welding metal sheets and alloys — and much more.
