This project will investigate the effect discolouration on welding rods has on the overall mechanical behavior, microstructure and chemistry of the welded joint. A wide range of colours have been observed on 3.2mmØ Cobalt-6 welding rods from straw, through gold to blue/dark purple and eventually grey, due to the nature of the process used. Three typical colours have been chosen for the purposes of investigation, namely: straw, gold and dark blue/purple. It has been observed on some occasions that when the different coloured rods have been used the perceived weldability can vary resulting in changes in performance, possibly due to changes in the microstructure and/or oxide characteristics. However, in some applications satisfactory performance has been noted.
