What is another name for stick welding?

  1. GMAW

  2. MIG welding

  3. SMAW

  4. TIG welding

The correct answer is: GMAW

Another name for stick welding is SMAW, which stands for Shielded Metal Arc Welding. This method involves using a consumable electrode coated in a flux to weld metals together. It is commonly referred to as stick welding because of the stick-like appearance of the welding rod used in the process. Option A, GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) is also known as MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas welding), which involves using a continuous solid wire electrode and a shielding gas to protect the weld from atmospheric contamination. Option D, TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas welding) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with a separate filler material to create the weld. TIG welding produces high-quality welds but is different from stick welding in terms of the equipment and process involved.
