Abstract
Abstract A coated electrode is provided comprising a metal core rod and a sheath coating enveloping said rod, said sheath consisting essentially of at least one hard phase-forming element in particulate form bonded to said rod, said sheath containing an amount of a solid metal halogenide ranging from over 0.01 to 3% by weight of said sheath effective to provide a weld deposit in which hard phases are uniformly distributed therethrough.
