Dear All,

As material test cerificate of welding consumables does not specify validity period for welding consumable, then what is the thumb rule to consider it.

I had checked ESAB Handbook ,it states that max 3 years for electrode if stored as per their guidelines but nowhere i had found information regarding max storage time for filler wire.

Can anyone put light on this topic

Regards,
Afroz Shaikh

Welding consumables can be recertified by the manucturer after expiration date.
