SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING - SMAW

What is SMAW Welding Process?

Shielded Metal Arc Welding, otherwise known as manual metal arc welding or flux shielded arc welding, is a process that uses a flux-coated electrode to form the weld. As electricity passes through the electrode, the flux forms a gas, which shields the electric arc in the space between the electrode and the metal being welded, preventing contamination from atmospheric gasses in the weld. This process is fairly simple and doesn’t require much in the way of specialized equipment, making it very popular.

What causes spatter in welding?

Spatter is caused by several factors. The main factor is a disturbance in the molten weld pool during the transfer of wire into the weld. In this situation, the arc is too cold to keep the wire and pool molten and causes a stubbing effect of the wire. This can occur at both high and low current ranges.

What does Weld Spatter mean?

Weld spatter consists of droplets of molten metal or non-metallic material that are scattered or splashed during the welding process. These small bits of hot material may fly and fall on the workbench or on the floor, while others may stick to the base material or any surrounding metallic material. They are easy to identify since they are round, small, ball-like substances when they solidify.
