Three basic reasons why splatter can occur. One - mild steel electrodes with thin coatings usually splatter quite a bit. Two - amperage setting too high. Three - arc length too long. Other factors can contribute such as wet electrodes, using AC current and possibly old electrodes that have been stored too long or incorrectly.

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.
