Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) is perhaps the most beginner-friendly welding technique due to its low equipment requirements and is known by many names:

  • stick welding
  • manual metal arc welding (MMA, MMAW)
  • Lichtbogenschweißen, Lichtbogenhandschweißen, Lichtbogenschmelzschweißen
  • Elektrodenschweißen, Elektroschweißen

The high current needed for SMAW is usually supplied by a welding transformer or an inverter.

We are currently working on establishing SMAW in the CoMakingSpace (see issue #10) so there should soon be more content!
