A welding rod by common usage is a supply metal that melts and combines
with the base metal. As in a stick welder.

The Tungsten is really a semi-inert rod that supplies current to melt
a spot of metal. The filler rod supplies the extra metal for the fix.

In a loose way it is a welding rod - used in welding and is a physical rod.

Uh, huh? I don't know what tungsten is, but I don't know what Tig pure
sticks are.

Oh, I think I found out--welding rods, right?
