Hello everybody!
Below, you will find the whole text.
Backup Strip — is a strip or section of steel butted up to an open gap between two pieces of steel. 6010 welding rods can be used for open butt welding, but 7018 cannot and requires a backing strip to provide a surface for the electrode to weld to. Some backup strips are cut off and some are left in place.
I don't quite understand the bolded part in italics. Does it mean that 1) "7018 (welding rod) requires a backing strip in order to provide a surface to which the electrode can/should be welded" or 2) "7018 (welding rod) requires a backing strip in order to provide a surface for the electrode to which (by which I mean the surface, of course) to weld"?
In my opinion, the second version may make more sense but I would be grateful for your help, anyway.
What do you think?
A reply would be welcome.
