Stick Welding: Welding without Gas using SMAW

Stick welding or Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) to give its proper name is a welding method that doesn’t require a shielding gas. Welding without gas using SMAW is a technique that involves using a flux-coated electrode to shield the weld pool from atmospheric gases, instead of using an external shielding gas.  This technique is commonly…

Stick Welding (SMAW) | What is Stick Welding and How Does it Work?

Shielded Metal Arc Welding, also known as Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA) or more commonly as Stick Welding, is a type of welding that uses a filler rod or wire as one of its electrodes. The other electrode is usually supplied by a power source connected to the work-piece through a cable. In this method,…
