Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as manual arc welding, is a welding method that uses the arc heat generated between the electrode and the workpiece to locally heat the electrode and the workpiece to a molten state, thereby forming a weld. It is the most widely used welding method in industrial production, especially suitable for welding different steel grades, various positions and various structures.
Due to its flexibility and applicability, arc welding is widely used in various industrial fields, especially in situations where fine control and high-quality welded joints are required. Although it has high requirements for welders, its advantages in welding quality make it indispensable in many professional application scenarios.
