Manual Metal Arc welding (MMA) is often referred to as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) or stick electrode welding. It was the predominant form of fusion welding until the beg0inning of the 1980s.

and gas-shielded flux-cored arc welding (FCAW-G). Both FCAW-S and FCAW-G use a consumable, tubular electrode that is filled with flux-materials. FCAW equipment includes a constant voltage power source ...

A power source provides a TIG gun, MIG gun, electrode holder, laser, electron beam gun or other welding unit ... Also, welder controllers used to adjust welding parameters to compensate for variations ...

I thought there could be a smart electrode holder for arc/stick welding," said an inventor, from Sidney, Ohio, "so I invented the BLUETOOTH SMART WELDING STINGER AND ARC WELDING APP. My design ...
