What is the primary reason that a designer should be aware of the properties of different weld electrodes?
Explanation
The final weld is not made purely of the electrode material; it's a new alloy formed by melting and mixing the electrode and the parent metal(s). Understanding the electrode's properties (like strength and ductility) is crucial for predicting the properties of the final weld bead and ensuring the joint's integrity.
