2. Shielded metal arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_metal_arc_welding

   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.

3. Arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_welding

   It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between a metal stick ("electrode") and the base material to melt the metals at the point of contact. Arc welding power supplies can deliver either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current to the work, while consumable or non-consumable electrodes are used.

5. Flux-cored arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux-cored_arc_welding

   This is known informally as "dual shield" welding. This type of FCAW was developed primarily for welding structural steels. In fact, since it uses both a flux-cored electrode and an external shielding gas, one might say that it is a combination of gas metal and FCAW. The most often used shielding gases are either straight carbon dioxide or ...

6. Electrode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode

   In arc welding, an electrode is used to conduct current through a workpiece to fuse two pieces together. Depending upon the process, the electrode is either consumable, in the case of gas metal arc welding or shielded metal arc welding, or non-consumable, such as in gas tungsten arc welding. For a direct current system, the weld rod or stick ...

7. Slag (welding) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slag_(welding)

   Examples of submerged arc weld slag. Welding slag is a form of slag, or vitreous material produced as a byproduct of some arc welding processes, most specifically shielded metal arc welding (also known as stick welding), submerged arc welding, and flux-cored arc welding.
