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 form an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined. The weld area is shielded from atmospheric contamination by the flux, which forms a slag covering the weld metal. It is a versatile process used for joining various metals in maintenance, construction, and fabrication.
