Also known as Shielded metal arc welding, stick welding is a versatile yet simple welding process. The stick welders can weld various materials like stainless steel, cast iron, carbon steel, ductile iron and even high alloy steels. You can use these portable and cost-effective stick welding machines to weld materials of almost any thickness above 1.5mm. The flux coating itself provides the shielding gas on the welding electrode itself, hence the welder does not require any additional shielding gases with
stick welders.
Applications
Stick welding machines find their use in assorted applications across small and large scale businesses, like:
- In steel structure construction
- Steel fabrication
- Underwater welding
