How Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Works?

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is also called Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMAW) or flux shielded arc welding or popularly known as stick welding. In SMAW we generally use consumable types of electrodes. Consumable electrode means flux covered on the rod. Because of flexibility and simplicity, SMAW is the world’s best welding process. It is …

What is a Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)? – Complete Overview

Introduction Flux cored arc welding (FCAW) is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process. It requires a continuously fed tubular electrode containing a flux and a constant current welding power supply. That is FCAW uses a tubular wire that is filled with a flux. The arc is started from the electrode to the job. The …
