Price Ranges for Welding Electrodes

The price of welding electrodes can vary depending on factors such as the type of electrode, brand, quantity purchased, and market conditions. Here are some general price ranges based on common types of welding electrodes:

  1. Stick Welding Electrodes (SMAW):

    • Basic electrodes: $1 to $2 per pound
    • Low-hydrogen electrodes: $2 to $4 per pound
    • Specialty electrodes (for specific applications): $3 to $8 per pound
  2. MIG Welding Electrodes (GMAW):

    • Mild steel solid wire: $0.80 to $1.50 per pound
    • Stainless steel wire: $2 to $4 per pound
    • Flux-cored wire: $1 to $3 per pound
  3. TIG Welding Electrodes (GTAW):

    • Tungsten electrodes: $2 to $10 per electrode, depending on type (pure tungsten, thoriated tungsten, etc.)
  4. Electrode Kits (Assorted Electrodes):

    • Prices can vary widely based on the quantity and types of electrodes included.
