Answer:

Consumed i believe is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electrode is a coated metal wire. It is made of materials similar to the metal being welded. ... In shield metal arc welding (SMAW) also known as stick, electrodes are consumable, which means that the electrode is consumed during its use and melts with the weld.
