Flux shielded arc welding, or stick welding, is a process where the arc is struck between an electrode ux coated metal rod and the work piece. Both the rod and the surface of the work piece melt to create a weld. Gloves used in this application need to be made from heavyweight elk or cowhide leather and have additional features such as back patches and full sock liners to help protect from high heat and sparks. HIGH HEAT EMITTED WITH SPARKS AND SPLATTER STICK APPLICATIONS Stick welding applications are widespread as this welding technique is easy to learn and is used in many settings. Stick welding applications include: shipbuilding, construction, manufacturing, oil/pipeline, structural welding, mining, and steel fabrication. Stick welding is widely used for standard repairs and manufacturing as it’s a durable, cost-effective method for beginners and experienced welders. Stick welding is great for welding thicker metals and not advised for thin metals as it’s so hot it will burn through.
