SMAW (STICK) WELDING: Shield Metal Arc Welding, this is an electric arc process that uses a consumable flux-coated rod as the electrode and the filler metal. Required equipment includes a constant-current welding power source electrode cable with electrode holder and ground cable with ground clamp. STICK Welding is one of the most widely used processes, particularly for short welds in production, maintenance, and repair work, and for field construction.
Our 30-hour STICK Welding Night Course provides comprehensive, in-depth training twice a week from 6:00pm-9:00pm, for a total of 10 sessions over 5 weeks. Upon completion, students will be familiar with safety protocol, equipment & equipment set up, proper welding techniques, and troubleshooting. This class is designed for beginners (zero experience is required) and for those looking to take their skills to the next level.
