Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding - SMAW)

Stick welding is a tried-and-true method that is effective in a wide range of environments. It uses a flux-coated electrode that produces its own shielding gas as it burns.

Best Used For:

  • Outdoor structural welding
  • Farm and heavy equipment repair
  • Industrial and pipeline work
  • Rusty or dirty metal surfaces

This process is excellent for tough conditions and heavy-duty applications, especially when portability and rugged performance are required.

Common Materials:

Stick welding can be used on mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and certain hard-facing alloys. It’s especially effective in working with weathered or dirty metal where other methods may fall short.
