Hey everyone, so today we are going to learn about shielded metal arc welding.
So, without wasting any time lets get started.
So, without wasting any time lets get started.
- The operation of shielded metal arc welding is such that, an electric arc is generated by only touching the tip of a coated electrode against the workpiece and withdrawing it quickly at a distance which was sufficient to maintain the arc and this is the reason why we can also call it as manual metal arc welding.
- Shielded metal arc welding also is known as stick welding or flux shielded arc welding.
- In shielded metal arc welding we use consumable electrode which means the flux is covered on the rod.
- Shielded metal arc welding is mostly used to weld copper, iron, aluminium, nickel, etc.
- For joining the metal electric arc is formed with the help of electric current. And the arc is formed in between the metal and the electrode.
- The electric current is maybe in the form of alternating current or direct current.
- The electrode tip is must be at some lower angle so that the tip of the electrode will not stick to the workpiece.
- If it is in perpendicular direction then the tip of the electrode will stick to the workpiece and it makes the welding process difficult.
This the simple explanation about shielded metal arc welding and in this lecture video I have given you the proper and brief explanation about the working of shielded metal arc welding, advantages, disadvantages, applications, etc.
Please go and check out my channel and this video.
