silico titanate compound are set forth below weight percent of sodium silico titanate compound novel flux cored electrode e utilizes sodium silico titanate to reduce the moisture pick up properties of the core material during manufacturing it also has proven to be an effective arc stabilizing substance when using the flux cored electrode in dc positive welding as is common practice it has been found that this particular compound when added to core 50 of electrode e also produces arc stability allowing the electrode to be used in an ac welding this characteristic is used to practice the present invention the grafted substance has proven beneficial as an arc stabilizer for a sinusoidal waveform 100 as shown in fig2 it has also proven beneficial to stabilize the plasma column p when reversal of polarity is at a high voltage and high current as is experienced in using generally rectangular type waveform such as waveform 200 shown in fig3 waveform 200 is shown modified to reduce the current before there is polarity reversal this is a feature described in stava u s pat no 6 111 216 waveform 200 includes positive portion 202 with amplitude a and width b and negative.
