Shielded Metal Arc Welding<br />
“Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is an <strong>arc</strong><br />
<strong>weld</strong>ing process in which coalescence <strong>of</strong> <strong>metal</strong>s<br />
is produced between the tip <strong>of</strong> a covered<br />
electrode and the surface <strong>of</strong> the base <strong>metal</strong> in the<br />
joint being <strong>weld</strong>ed.” (AWS Handbook, vol. 2)<br />
