Advantages and Limitations
Application

SMAW is an arc welding process that uses a consumable

electrode to initiate the arc and provide the filler
material.

 High quality weld with low

cost.
Easy to practice and simple
Can be used anywhere
Can weld various types of
material and any thickness
Easy to set up
Can be used to weld all
positions
The electrodes available in
many sizes and diameters

 Consumes bigger electric

current
Dirty work finish
Easy to oxidated
Electrode diameter depends
on plate and welding
position
Limited with electrode
length
