Basics

May need a better name, but:
This page aims to determine the environmental impact via looking for existing / making a rudimentary LCA of the equivalent Consumables needed for Shielded Metal Arc Welding ( and the similar Flux Core Arc Welding and Submerged Arc Welding Processes) vs Gas Shielded Arc Welding / Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
IE Stick Welding vs MIG/TIG Welding

Chemistry is Life - Chemistry of a Welding Rod (shitty article, may be able to grab more from it's guts later)
Weldwire . net Products - E7018 AWS: A5.1 (Lists standards for chemical deposits/composition / whole, not much specifics on ingredients)
- Attatched PDF of a MSDS / MDS from the above source, page 2 "Section 3" of is titled "COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS"
- Grab specifics later, but:
  - Iron
  - Limestone ( Calcium Carbonate )
  - Aluminium
  - [[Sodium Silicate
  - Cellulose
  - Mineral Silicates
  - Titanium Dioxide
  - Potassium Silicate
  - Magnesium Carbonate
  - Magnese
  - Aluminum Carbonate
  - Silicon
  - Quartx
  - Flurospar
  - Magnesium Oxide
  - Zinc Oxide
