SMAW stands for shielded metal arc welding. The rectifier used in the welding machines must be referring to this type welding.
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is important due to its versatility, ease of use, and effectiveness in various applications, including construction and repair work. It can be applied to a wide range of materials and thicknesses, making it suitable for both industrial and domestic projects. Additionally, SMAW equipment is relatively portable and affordable, allowing for use in remote locations. Its ability to produce strong, durable welds makes it a preferred choice in many welding industries.
The minimum thickness for SMAW welding is about 18 ga. with a steady hand.
Advantage of smaw :*equipment is relatively inexpensive Equipment is portable because the welding machine can be powered with gasoline or diesel powered w/ engines.
