SMAW is often referred to as shielded metal arc welding. It is also referred to as Manual Metal Arc (MMA). An electrode coated with flux material used to make the weld in this type of welding. Electric arc is formed by using either alternating or direct current as power. arc is formed between the metal and the electrode for welding. Shielding gas is formed when the flux is coated on the electrode began to disintegrate and produce steam. This protects the gas from air contamination. Here are some basic welder must know when it comes to welding arc;
Direct current electricity flows from negative to positive. Direct current is used to produce a smooth weld. Power pass to and from positive to negative and the sine wave. This results in an irregular part of the current. In turn this resulted in more debris.
Reverse polarity is called a Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP). Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) is called straight polarity. Electricity passes with great concentration to the end of the welding rod to provide only one-quarter less capable in the DCEP. This gives a major attack. thick piece of steel can be welded easily with DCEP.
But the moment passed out of the DCEN welding rod. There is one-third of the heat concentrated on the trunk. This ultimately results in less incursive ability. Therefore serve to the best resources for thinner steel.
There are dozens of people who believe that DCEN provide greater penetration of the DCEP. But with experience you should be in favor of your own.
There are a number of defects can lead to SMAW welding. They are slag inclusions, undercut and porosity. They are called defective because they weaken the joints where the welding done. Porosity is holes that appear in the weld. This may be caused by a gas or vapor.

- Slag inclusion occurs, you do not chip off the slag. welder should always get rid of the slag.
- Disability is a major mistake that should not happen when welding.
- It is very dangerous to weld with exposed skin. Radiation of ultraviolet rays can be brutal to your skin. They can blister your corneas. Exposing the skin while welding cause skin cancer. The main reason why the coat of heavy welding by welders are avoided because they are uncomfortable. It's not a good reason when compared with the losses that welding can pose in your body.
- Rain drizzle drops of molten metal which is trapped by the metal all around where you are welding. Drizzle will chip off by itself.
