What is stick welding?
Answer:
*Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc (MMA) welding or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld.

Stick welding is among the most widely used welding processes.
*Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is frequently referred to as stick or covered electrode welding.
The flux covering the electrode melts during welding. This forms the gas and slag to shield the arc and molten weld pool. The slag must be chipped off the weld bead after welding. The flux also provides a method of adding scavengers, deoxidizers, and alloying elements to the weld metal.
*Stick Welding Problems:
Arc Blow
Arc Stability
Excessive spatter
Incorrect weld profile
Rough surface
Porosity

Stick Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is frequently referred to as stick or covered electrode welding. Stick welding is among the most widely used welding processes.
The flux covering the electrode melts during welding. This forms the gas and slag to shield the arc and molten weld pool. The slag must be chipped off the weld bead after welding. The flux also provides a method of adding scavengers, deoxidizers, and alloying elements to the weld metal.
Stick Welding Benefits-
Equipment used is simple, inexpensive, and portable
Electrode provides and regulates its own flux
Lower sensitivity to wind and drafts than gas shielded welding processes
All position capability
Generally it refers to arc welding, in the basic sense, an old Lincoln
welder useing a rod that was coated with flux , was refered to a
"stick welder".

Common Stick Welding Concerns
We can help optimize your welding process variables. Evaluate your current welding parameters and techniques. Help eliminate common welding problems and discontinuities such as those listed below:
Weld Discontinuities
Undercut
Incomplete fusion
Porosity
Slag Inclusions
Cracks
Stick Welding Problems
Arc Blow
Arc Stability
Excessive spatter
Incorrect weld profile
Rough surface
Porosity
A WELDING ROD ABOUT 12ins long held in houlder when touches steel causes heat by very bright light to weld steel together similar to birth making without exposed light
maybe it is when two welding sticks turn quere,mabe they are gay in other words
