What is Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
Shielded metal arc welding(SMAW), is a fusion arc welding process that coalesces two or more metals together. This coalescence produces the metallurgical bonds required to create a robust weld. In shielded metal arc welding, arc welding indicates SMAW employs an electric arc to heat the metal above its melting point to achieve this coalescence. Generally, …
