Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding [1] or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld.
For example, if the wire and the base material get too close, the current will rapidly increase, which in turn causes the heat to increase and the tip of the wire to melt, returning it to its original separation distance. [1] Under normal arc length conditions, a constant current power supply with a stick electrode operates at about 20 volts. [2]
More than 5% oxygen makes the shielding gas oxidize the electrode, which can lead to porosity in the deposit if the electrode does not contain sufficient deoxidizers. O-2 (98% argon/2% oxygen) is used for spray arc on stainless steel, carbon steels, and low alloy steels. Better wetting than O-1. Weld is darker and more oxidized than with O-1.
A welding power supply is a device that provides or modulates an electric current to perform arc welding. [1] There are multiple arc welding processes ranging from Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) to inert shielding gas like Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) or Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).

Due in part to the growth of the oil industry, this symbol set was used during the 1990s in about 50% of the world's welding operations. [1] An ISO committee sought to establish a global standard during this decade. [1] In engineering drawings, each weld is conventionally identified by an arrow which points to the joint to be welded. The arrow ...
