Flux cored welding electrodes comprise a iron based metal sheath and either a flux or metal core within the sheath, enclosing core ingredients. The core ingredients and sheath together comprise, in weight percentages based on the total weight of the electrode, very low levels of manganese. While having low levels of manganese the electrodes satisfy the strength and safety requirements required of commercial electrodes. Embodiments contain manganese in the range of 0.09 to 0.19% by weight of the electrode, along with other components.

Low manganese welding electodes

A feeding lubricant for use on a welding electrode comprises about 10 to 40 wt. % of at least one soap-based lubricant, about 40 to 90 wt. % of at least one solid particulate lubricant selected from MoS, WS, ZnO, graphite and PTFE and up to 20 wt. % of at least one optional additional particulate lubricant ingredient.
