Study Notes
4-17 Chapter Review Summary
- Stick welding is a common name for the shielded metal arc welding process
- The first reason for the name "stick welding" is the shape of the electrode
- The second reason is the tendency of the electrode to stick to the workpiece, a common problem for new welders
- New welders often struggle to concentrate on anything but the electrode's sparks.
- Experience improves visual field during welding, allowing a larger welding zone to be seen.
- Practice and time enhance welding skills, through better understanding of the process through actually welding, cleaning, inspection, correction, and trying to produce the next weld with improved quality.
