What is stickwelding?

Answer 1

Stick welding is a type of welding that uses an electrical current to produce an intensely hot plasma arc that melts metal together while adding filler metal, which is what the "stick" electrode is made of. The electrode (or stick) is usually about a foot in length and is covered in flux to prevent atmospheric contamination. It is held by an electrified clamp that the welder runs across the joint to weld.

Answer 2

Stick welding, also known as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), is a welding process that uses a flux-coated electrode to create a weld. The electrode is connected to a welding machine that generates an electric current, which creates an arc between the electrode and the workpiece, melting the metal and creating a bond. Stick welding is versatile, portable, and can be used in various positions and environments.
