Everybody used to call it "stick welding". MMAW Manual Metal Arc Welding is the correct nomenclature. The "sticks" are electrodes held in an electrode holder connected to a power supply. Establish an arc between the end of the electrode and the metal and move across the joint. As you weld the electrode is consumed. Discard the "stub", insert a new electrode and continue.

The possibility of distortion in the case of submerged arc welding comment by giving reasons?

The heat input in the case of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is higher than that in manual welding process. Reason is that the welding proceeds continuously while the work is rotated. In manual welding, it is controlled by the welder besides the time gap for changeover of electrode, relaxation by operator etc.


What is MMA welding?

MMA stands for manual Metal Arc welding. In short "arc welding" and can be used in either AC or DC mode. Usually incorperated with Mig, Tig and plasma cutters for arc welding machines as an optional extra. submitted by Ken.Benson - Clarke. sales@edacomputers.co.uk from saffon walden, essex, uk.

Can you use LPG for ARC welding?

ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.
