Direct current electrode positive
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.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".
You you you
it means BROTHER
yes Electrode Positive is the same as Reverse Polarity
smaw welding is sheilded metal arc welding
These abbreviations as related to welding: AC is alternating current (current that cycles between positive and negative peaks 120 times a second in the USA on a 60 HZ cycle) DCEN is direct current electrode negative DCRP is direct current reverse polarity and is the same as DCEN DCEP is direct current electrode positive DCSP is direct current straight polarity and is the same as DCEP

DCEP for standard Mig. DCEN for Flux Core
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.

SMAW stands for shielded metal arc welding. The rectifier used in the welding machines must be referring to this type welding.
