In this episode of the Longevity Learning Lab, Bruce explains the basics of stick or arc welding. Stick welding is also known as SMAW.
Stick, the most basic of welding processes, offers the easiest option for joining steel and other metals. Stick welding power sources deliver inexpensive options for welding versatility, portability and reliability. Stick joins metals when an arc is struck between the electrode and the work piece, creating a weld pool and depositing a consumable metal electrode into the joint. The electrode's protective coating also acts as a shielding gas, protecting the weld and ensuring its purity and strength. Best for windy conditions and adverse environments.

who else is outside with there new welder looking up how to's on youtube

@longevitywelding 7 лет назад

Sounds like a fun day! If you get stuck, happen to have a question youtube isn't clear on(many videos, many opinions, many references as there are many ways to accomplish a welding task the "correct" way), give us a call to speak with our tech dept. as they would be happy to assist you.

Very good basic stick video. An exceptionally good explanation. I'm a DIYer that has been stick welding for almost a year now, I've watched countless stick videos now, and this is one that really stands out. Really nice job and much appreciated!

They are labeled plus and minus on machine.

@chubbyninja842 3 года назад

I've watched dozens of these how-to videos over the last couple of weeks and you gave the best explanation of how to place and move the rod. I definitely learned more from this than from most of the other videos I've seen. Thank you!

"Learn stick welding in an afternoon??" Are you kidding? Then you must have an incredibly steady hand and good eye.

I'm 74, when I was 11 years old. I was reading a hot rod car magazine $.025. in 1959. I saw in the back cover an electric arc welder for $14.95 !! Called the FOURWAY electric arc welder, made in Chicago, Illinois 🇺🇸. I saved my money, 2 months go by I had enough to buy it,. It took 2 months for me to get it. They don't ship as fast back then. When I plugged it into 110 vac. And struck an arc, it scared the "sh?t" out of me, as I never saw anyone weld before !! Later on in my 20's I became a professional welder. Welding sure came a long way !! Great Video. Thanks

"Power" is not the same as "current". Power (Watts) is represented as "W" , current is represented as the letter "A" (as in amperes), and the letter "V' represents voltage. The formula is W =VxA. Therefore, A (current) = w (Watts)/v (voltage).

@rimshotdk 9 лет назад

Informative, thanks. What i missed though, is how to adjust current/amps to the correct amount.

Can you explain a bit more about polarities? Should the electron be positive or negative? I didn't really understand how the result differs.

@flashflashbang2102 Год назад

Shame they can't be bothered to give us an answer, too much of the video was waffle and could have been cut down by a few minutes. I give it 2 stars.

@kenazi79 5 лет назад

@katiedotson704 6 лет назад

Thanks. I've watched other videos and some of these people absolutely know what they are doing. But for the very rank beginner that is trying to decide what kind of welder to even start out with, you explanation has been simple, to the point, and easy to understand. I was advised by my farrier to just go with stick welding for the simplicity of equipment. No gas bottles to buy or haul around and one doesn't have to worry so much about the wind if going outside.

Hallo and thanks for the good video. I would like to ask you to tell me some words regarding the “Arc Force” and “Arc Ignition Time” that I have to set on my machine (except the Welding current of course). Can you give me an example of the 3 settings when I have to weld 2 and 2 mm of metal and use the 6013 rod. Thanks again. Spiros.

Being brand new in welding I have flipped through many other utube vids I have found this to be the most informative .

Nice video!!! What stick you recommend for 1 inch square tubing and 90' degree angular? I want to make a outdoor one burner stove. People use this stove for boil shrimp on a big kettle or to fried big Turkey. The top 17" x 17" angular iron with 17" height legs on square tubing.

@doogiehowser78 4 года назад

thanks for the vid , im a newbie to stick welding and was wondering , is it ok to actually hold onto the stick to weld to have more control or will it be to hot

@longevitywelding 4 года назад

Thanks for watching! You cannot hold the stick itself only the stick holder.

@usernamemykel 2 года назад

@@longevitywelding INCORRECT!!!! You can hold the stick like a pen so that you have more control over it, as when tack welding. Wear gloves and if the rod/stick sticks to the metal - be prepared to let go because it will get red-hot quickly.

Very good explaining of stick welding professior. I learnt the way of electrodes working through ya. Thanks.

@wafibabeker8003 8 лет назад

that means when we need deep penitration use dc - and when we need more deposite rate used dc+

@midnytoil69 6 лет назад

Your thought is right but in the video the explanation was wrong he said dc- was most concentrated heat in the electrode i think that was wrong dcen is heat most concentrated on metal than the electrode

@zenfinity8 10 лет назад

very good, clear explanation.. I'm glad I found your video. It refresh my memory, because its been a long time since I stooped welding!! (I also wish I could get work here that I love, which is welding)(hehe)...

@z_polarcat 5 лет назад

Won't connecting the piece to the current source electrify the it making lethal to touch?

@wafibabeker8003 8 лет назад

you have wrong information .when electode in +.the heat increase in elctrode and when use dc - the heat increase in work piece when use ac polarity the heat become 50% in work piece and electrode...

this is the first time i know that you can change the polarity of stick weld. my question is, is it fine to just cut the wire and change the connection?

@longevitywelding 7 лет назад

If your unit has a positive and a negative port, and not built in leads, you should be able to swap the work lead and stinger lead without cutting wires.

@grantbailey7842 3 года назад

I'm completely confused by this video. Electrons always flow from positive to negative electrodes. Ions dont flow in a current, as he stated. So, why did he reverse the polarity? Pretty dumb explaination and too much jargon.
