Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The disclosed technology generally relates welding electrodes, and more particularly to consumable welding electrodes having functional coatings. In one aspect, a welding electrode comprises a core wire having a base metal composition and two or more coatings covering at least a portion of the core wire. The two or more coatings comprise an electrically conductive coating including one or more electrically conducting elements or compounds in addition to or other than copper (Cu). The two or more coatings additionally comprises an additional functional coating including one or more additional elements or compounds adapted to modify a surface tension of a molten droplet formed from the welding electrode. In another aspect, a method of manufacturing a welding electrode comprises providing the core wire having the base metal composition and forming the two or more coating layers.
