SMAW machine parts:

1. Machine
Shielded Metal Arc Welding machine is the main parts of this process, because without
machine certainly, we can not do welding process.
2. Electrode Cable
The function Electrode cable connects the current from welding machine to electrode which
we use to weld the base metal.
3. Massa Cable
Massa Cable has a function for connecting current from machine to base metal, after that
base metal and electrode touch then will welding process is happening.
4. Welding Power Source
Have to function for supply current from electrical source to welding machine.
5. Current Control
For control current output which uses for the welding process, big or little the current
dependent form type or thickness of material (base metal).
6. Electrode Holder
For hold the electrode so we can do welding process easily. Otherside holder too has a
function for an electric current to the electrodes.
7. Earth Cramp
To connect the machine to the base metal.
8. Switch
For on or off the welding machine.
9. Electrode
As a filler metal, after the welding process finish then the electrode will change be weld metal.
The electrode has a flux which the function is to protect steel melting when the welding
process takes place.
