Smaw Welding Diagram. 21 the welding shall be done manually using shielded metal arc welding smaw process. During the process the flux covering the electrode melts during welding.
21 the welding shall be done manually using shielded metal arc welding smaw process. Coffin patented the process. Smaw shielded metal arc welding is a welding process in which the source of heat coming from the electrical current.
It can be used for both repair welding and production and it can be used in all welding positions on all ferrous metals.
This process is suitable for most of the commercially available metals and alloys. Table 1 advantages of smaw. The equipment is comparatively inexpensive and portable. Smaw electrodes are shown in figure 4.
