Stick welding is a process in which a metal joint is fused together by the intense heat generated by an electrical arc. The "stick" in stick welding comes from the stick electrode that acts as the arc emitter and as a filler rod. It is used in various welding applications especially for heavy metal work. It is commonly used for this because of the ease of transmitting a powerful arc though the stick electrode.

What is the technically correct name for gas welding?
Stick welding
What type of welding which do not require a molten electrode?
TIG welding electrodes do not melt under most applications. Electrode means it carries electrical current. In MIG welding the wire becomes the electrode. In TIG and Gas Welding the filler material is called a rod. Stick welding uses rods called electrodes.
What is the principle of tig welding?
Tungsten Inert Gas (orTIG) welding is also referred to as GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) and by the term Heliarc® which was the Linde Company's trade name for the TIG process when it was originally introduced.The welding arc is started with a sharply pointed tungsten electrode shielded by inert gas. A separate filler rod is fed manually into the weld puddle in much the same way as is done when gas welding.The process is well suited for aluminum.
What are the three types of machines used in manual metal arc welding?
I am not sure your question is clear enough but here I go... Stick Arc Welding (AC or DC), MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tunsten Inter Gas). All three of these are the basic metal welding machines.
Shielded metal arc welding is sometimes called welding?
It is sometimes called "stick welding", because of the filler metal. The filler metal is in the form of heavy wire coated with flux.

Do have to take stick welding before tig welding?
I was taught oxy/acetylene welding first, then stick. TIG welding is just like oxy/acetylene except much easier (less variables and a foot control to make minor corrections or even pulse the weld) I would recommend you learn both. TIG welding for precise/clean welding. Stick for some larger, perhaps special welding (hard facing tools - bigger pieces of steel).
What is SMAW?
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".
What different welding techniques do you learn in welding training school?
There are a number of different welding techniques you will learn at welding school. Some of the techniques you will learn include Mig, Tig, Stick & Pipe.
What is stick welding most commonly used used for?
Stick welding machines are usually the least expensive machines available. Stick welding SMAW is used to fabricate steel and many other kinds of metals. A big variety of electrodes including cutting rods are available. This process is relatively easy to learn and use. From small farms to big industries to home workshops stick welding is the first choice from beginners to craftsmen.
What services does Miller Welding provide its customers?
MIG, TIG, and Stick Welders are sold my Miller Welding. Miller Welding also provides maintenance and repairs to welding equipment. One can also purchase accessories from Miller Welding.
What cause spatter in stick welding?
Spatter in stick welding is typically caused by impurities in the base metal, incorrect voltage or current settings, or a problem with the electrode or its coating. It can also occur if the welding arc length is too long or if the electrode is not held at the correct angle. Proper technique, equipment maintenance, and choosing the right electrode can help minimize spatter during stick welding.
What is stickwelding?
Stick welding is a type of welding that uses an electrical current to produce an intensely hot plasma arc that melts metal together while adding filler metal, which is what the "stick" electrode is made of. The electrode (or stick) is usually about a foot in length and is covered in flux to prevent atmospheric contamination. It is held by an electrified clamp that the welder runs across the joint to weld.
Can you use Stick Welding machine for Spot Welding if yes how?
They sell a spot welding gun that plugs into a DC arc welder. If you have an AC225 or some other AC-only machine, this won't work. In general, tho, spot welders have their own power supplies so you don't need to reconfigure your stick welding machine for this.
Is welding a semi skilled job?
It can be. Basic welding techniques can get you started in the welding field. Stick welding in the flat position for example. The more experience you get usually translates to more money. Certain processes take more skill such as TIG or plasma welding as well as pipe welding and underwater welding. These are considered highly skilled.
Can stainless steel be welded with Shielded Metal Arc Welding?
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.
