Best Answer

It is sometimes called "stick welding", because of the filler metal. The filler metal is in the form of heavy wire coated with flux.

It is one of the arc welding process in which the movement of consumable electrode i.e, downward, to the direction of line of welding, side to side movement are controlled by human beings

What are the kinds of welding?

There are a considerable number of welding processes that cover a vast range of metals and some nonmetals in most industries and applications. An excellent resource for welding information is The American Welding Society (AWS.org). A short list of the most common processes are: Oxygen Fuel Gas (OFG) which includes welding and cutting equipment where oxygen is mixed with a fuel gas such as acetylene, propane, etc. and a torch is used. Shielded Metal Arc (SMAW) sometimes called "Stick Rod" welding. This is a manual process that uses a flux covered wire electrode that melts during welding to form the filler metal. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) sometimes called "MIG" (for Metal Inert Gas) which is a semi automatic process that uses a bare or flux cored wire that is delivered by a spool drive during welding. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) sometimes called "TIG" (for Tungsten Inert Gas) or Heiliarc (trade name by the Lindy corp.) which uses a non consumable Tungsten electrode in an inert gas shielded gas torch. The Tungsten's produces the heat (via an electric current) and filler metal is added by "dipping" the tip of a bare wire to the weld puddle. The list goes on to include things like Electron Beam Welding , Plasma Arc Welding / Cutting, Friction Welding, Explosion Welding. Microwave Welding, Plastic Welding, etc.. Welding is used on everything from auto mufflers to space vehicles and medical instruments.


What is the Arc speed for Shielded Metal Arc welding SMAW?

arc efficiency=heat developed at anode/total heat developed


What are the 5 different types of welding?

There are far more than 5 types or processes of welding. Currently the American Welding Society (AWS) states that there are more than 80 different welding and joining processes. However, some of the common welding processes include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and oxyfuel gas welding (OFW).

What is the meaning of SMAW Welding?

Shielded Metal Arc Welding, commonly called Stick welding. A shielded electrode passes a current between itself and the workpiece. Both the base-metal and the electrode are melted by the current and the electrode is consumed and deposited into the melted puddle forming the weldment.

What is a base metal in welding?

A base metal is also called the Parent metal. It is that metal in the welding practice that has been cut by the various forms of cutting, then prepared and is to be welded. Welding is performed to join one section of the base metal to another section of base metal by means of the various welding processes, e.g. SMAW(Shielded Metal Arc Welding) where welding welding rods are used, GTAW(Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) where Tig wire is used, FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding) etc. The welding rods, the TIG wires etc are called the filler metals, for they fill the weld gaps by depositing their molten-state weld metals.
