Solution (By Examveda Team)
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld.This Question Belongs to Mechanical Engineering >> Workshop Technology
flux material is the carbonates and silicate which melt during welding process and prevent the weld from oxidization process and from foreign gases
