Stick Welding (SMAW)

Work SMAW the way it is actually done in the field: amperage and polarity for common E6010/E6011/E7018 rods, rod angle and travel speed for flat, horizontal, vertical up, and overhead positions, and the progression from structural plate into pipe. Wraps the SMAW fundamentals guide with MIG/TIG context and pipe welding to show how stick fits into the broader welding trade.
