NOTE: The serviceability of a product or structure
utilizing this type of information is and must
be the sole responsibility of the builder/user.
Many variables beyond the control of The
Lincoln Electric Company affect the results
obtained in applying this type of informa-
tion. These variables include, but are not
limited to, welding procedure, plate chem-
istry and temperature, weldment design,
fabrication methods and service require-
ments.
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.
