L'électrode actuelle se présente sous la forme d’un fil métallique ou âme, souvent en acier doux, recouvert d’un enrobage plus ou moins épais appliqué par extrusion. Les composants de cet enrobage se déposent, à l'exception d’une faible partie volatilisée ou projetée lors de l'opération, sur le bain de fusion où ils surnagent, puis se solidifient en donnant un dépôt plus ou moins facilement détachable, appelé laitier. Lorsqu'il n’ est pas auto-détachant, le laitier s’élimine ensuite au moyen d’un piqueur, sorte de manteau muni, d’un côté, d’un tranchant et, de l'autre, d’une pointe. Le piquage du laitier est suivi d’un brossage à la brosse métallique. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9lectrode%20de%20soudage
