A filler metal electrode consisting of a metal wire with a light coating applied subsequent to the drawing operation, primarily for stabilizing the arc. [Definition standardized by the AWS.] 3, record 2, English, - lightly%20coated%20electrode
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Light coated electrodes have a definite composition. A light coating has been applied on the surface by washing, dipping, brushing, spraying, tumbling, or wiping to improve the stability and characteristics of the arc stream. They are listed under the E45 series in the electrode identification system. 4, record 2, English, - lightly%20coated%20electrode
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The coating generally serves the following functions: a) It dissolves or reduces impurities such as oxides, sulfur, and phosphorus; b) It changes the surface tension of the molten metal so that the globules of metal leaving the end of the electrode are smaller and more frequent, making the flow of molten metal more uniform; c) It increases the arc stability by introducing materials readily ionized (i.e., changed into small particles with an electric charge) into the arc stream. 4, record 2, English, - lightly%20coated%20electrode

Le pendagemètre électrique le plus ancien est basé sur le fait que le courant se propage plus facilement parallèlement que perpendiculairement aux plans de stratification. Une électrode A [...] descendue dans un forage crée donc un champ électrique dont les surfaces équipotentielles sont des ellipsoïdes de révolution aplatis et non des sphères. En conséquence, deux électrodes Q et R, symétriques par rapport à l'axe du forage, ne seront au même potentiel que si elles se trouvent sur une horizontale des couches. Il suffit donc de disposer quatre électrodes aux extrémités de deux diamètres orthogonaux et de mesurer les différences de potentiel existant entre les deux électrodes d’un même diamètre pour pouvoir déterminer la direction des horizontales des couches. 1, record 6, French, - pendagem%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A9lectrique
