What is stick welders?

Stick welding, also known as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered in flux to lay the weld. An electric current, from either AC or DC power supply, is used to create an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined. The workpiece and the electrode melts forming a molten weld pool that cools to form a joint. It is commonly used in construction, repair work, and fabrication due to its versatility and portability.
