Stick (SMAW)

A Proven Welding Process for Reliable, All-Position Work

Knowing how to choose the right welding process is key to producing strong, dependable welds. Stick welding, also known as SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), is a time-tested process trusted by professionals for its reliability, versatility, and ability to perform in challenging environments.

Stick welding uses a flux-coated electrode to create shielding gas and slag that protect the weld puddle, making it well-suited for outdoor work, field repairs, and less-than-ideal conditions. It is commonly used on mild steel, stainless steel, and specialized alloys across a wide range of industries.
