Shielded metal arc welding Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding[1] or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld. An electric current, in the form of either alternating current or directContinue reading “SMAW”

SHIELDWD METL ARC WELDING (SMAW) What Is SMAW? Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) also known as stick welding, is a manual process using a flux coated consumable electrode with a metal rod at the core. Alternating current or direct current forms an arc between the electrode and the base metal creates the required heat. In the UnitedContinue reading “SMAW”
