Stick welding, also known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), is one of the oldest and most versatile welding processes, capable of being used outdoors and on rusty or dirty metals. It uses a consumable electrode coated in flux, which creates a protective gas shield and slag to prevent contamination. This method is popular for its simplicity, portability, and ability to weld in various positions.
