What is Shielded Metal Arc Welding Overview about?

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding, uses a consumable electrode covered in flux to produce an arc for welding. The flux provides shielding gas and forms slag. A constant current power source is used. Advantages include versatility and low cost, while disadvantages include slower speed and need to remove slag. Common defects include porosity, slag inclusions, and incomplete fusion or penetration. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) uses a continuous solid wire electrode and an external
