STICK WELDING

Stick welding is probably the most familiar welding
process known. A coated ELECTRODE, the welding
rod, is clamped into an ELECTRODE HOLDER, an
insulated clamping device, which is connected to
the ELECTRODE CABLE, a heavy wire. The WORK,
the piece of metal to be welded, is connected to the
WORK CABLE, a heavy wire with a WORK CLAMP
on one end. The two cables connect to OUTPUT
TERMINALS on the welder, which is a high current
power source. See Figure B.3.
