Application Area. ANO – 36 Welding Electrodes.
ANO-36 electrodes are widely used in various industries due to their versatility:
• Construction and installation of metal structures: Welding of frames, trusses, columns, including vertical position assembly welds.
• Shipbuilding and ship repair: Welding of hull structures.
• Manufacturing of tanks and reservoirs.
• Repair and assembly work in industry, agriculture, and municipal services.
• Manufacturing and welding of pipelines.
• Welding of galvanized products.
Welding Technique. ANO – 36 Welding Electrodes.
In the flat position: Tilt the electrode with a forehand angle (in the welding direction) 20-40° from the vertical. Vertical position “top-to-bottom”: Performed with a short arc or using the touch method. The electrode is tilted at an angle of 40-70° to the vertical, preventing slag from flowing ahead of the arc.

All covered electrodes are sensitive to moisture absorption. Excessive moisture content in the coating can lead to porosity or hydrogen cracking.
However, if the climatic storage conditions meet the following requirements, moisture absorption by the electrodes is minimal:
• 5–15°C at a maximum relative humidity of 60%
• 15–25°C at a maximum relative humidity of 50%
• >25°C at a maximum relative humidity of 40%
At lower temperatures, maintaining the storage temperature 10°C above the ambient temperature is sufficient to achieve the required moisture content level. Cold packages must be allowed to warm up to ambient temperature before opening.
At higher temperatures, the required moisture content in the air can be achieved by dehumidification. The shelf life of electrodes under the above conditions shall not exceed three years.
• Covered electrodes with a basic coating and low hydrogen content must be baked prior to each use whenever requirements regarding the content of diffusible hydrogen and/or the soundness of the deposited metal are specified.
• Stainless steel electrodes with a basic coating may produce porosity during welding if the humidity levels during their storage did not meet the requirements. To restore their original properties, they also need to be baked.
• Electrodes for welding carbon steels with a cellulosic or rutile coating typically do not require baking.
• Electrodes that have suffered serious damage due to exposure to moisture cannot be restored by rebaking and must be rejected.
