What is SMAW?

SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), also known as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered in flux to lay the weld. An electric current creates an arc between the electrode and the metals being joined, melting them together. The flux covering protects the weld area from atmospheric contamination, providing a slag that must be chipped away after welding. It is commonly used in construction, fabrication, and repair work due to its versatility and relatively low equipment cost.
