Stick Welding
Stick Welding: Unparalleled Ease and Versatility
Take Your Stick Welding To A New Level
It All Starts With a Spark
Shielded metal arc welding, also known as stick welding, uses a consumable flux-coated electrode to create an electrical current that melts and fuses metal. Filler metal, such as carbon steel, is normally used to weld joints between base metals. Unlike TIG and MIG welding processes, no shielding gas is needed in stick welding because the flux coating on the electrode disintegrates during the process and emits vapors that protect the weld pool from contamination. A constant-current welding power source produces electrical energy. The electricity is conducted across the arc through a column of plasma. Alternating or direct current can be used.
Stick welding is fairly versatile as it can weld iron, steel, aluminum, nickel, and copper alloys. It can also be implemented outdoors or in windy conditions. Stick welding has the rare ability to create effective bonds on rusty or unclean surfaces. Due to its ease, consistent results, and neatly finished welds, machine stick welding is often used by larger companies for metal fabrication. Stick welding is one of the oldest and most reliable methods for “striking an arc.”
