smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
There are far more than 5 types or processes of welding. Currently the American Welding Society (AWS) states that there are more than 80 different welding and joining processes. However, some of the common welding processes include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and oxyfuel gas welding (OFW).

There are a considerable number of welding processes that cover a vast range of metals and some nonmetals in most industries and applications. An excellent resource for welding information is The American Welding Society (AWS.org). A short list of the most common processes are: Oxygen Fuel Gas (OFG) which includes welding and cutting equipment where oxygen is mixed with a fuel gas such as acetylene, propane, etc. and a torch is used. Shielded Metal Arc (SMAW) sometimes called "Stick Rod" welding. This is a manual process that uses a flux covered wire electrode that melts during welding to form the filler metal. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) sometimes called "MIG" (for Metal Inert Gas) which is a semi automatic process that uses a bare or flux cored wire that is delivered by a spool drive during welding. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) sometimes called "TIG" (for Tungsten Inert Gas) or Heiliarc (trade name by the Lindy corp.) which uses a non consumable Tungsten electrode in an inert gas shielded gas torch. The Tungsten's produces the heat (via an electric current) and filler metal is added by "dipping" the tip of a bare wire to the weld puddle. The list goes on to include things like Electron Beam Welding , Plasma Arc Welding / Cutting, Friction Welding, Explosion Welding. Microwave Welding, Plastic Welding, etc.. Welding is used on everything from auto mufflers to space vehicles and medical instruments.
arc welding such as SMAW (stick), GMAW (mig). Some cast metals may be brazed for certain applications. The actual properties of the Cast metal will be needed for the type of electrode and/or process.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".
shielded metal arc welding use to electrode metal
SMAW stands for shielded metal arc welding. The rectifier used in the welding machines must be referring to this type welding.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, commonly called Stick welding. A shielded electrode passes a current between itself and the workpiece. Both the base-metal and the electrode are melted by the current and the electrode is consumed and deposited into the melted puddle forming the weldment.

SMAW stands for Shielded Metal Arc Welding. This process uses electrodes with flux coating, which release gases to surround the weld metal, thereby preventing oxidation.
In (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding 'stick welding': Flux is the substance added to to molten metals to bond with impurities that can be readily removed. Slag is the waste material which is removed.
Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
The difference in the ac/ dc , or polarity of welding rods is in the makeup of the flux coating , or the alloy of the metal, and in the case of SMAW ( Shielded metal arc welding ) rods , which have a flux coating, are usually marked on the base of the rod.
Yes. There are covered electrodes made for SMAW (stick) welding of SS. I have actually repaired one of my wifes SS cooking pots that had a broken handle with a stick welder.
For welding 8 mm thickness metals, common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding). The choice depends on the type of metal and specific requirements.
