THE PROCESS
The MMA welding technique requires the electrode to make contact with the workpiece to initiate the arc. The electrode is secured in a holder and needs to be replaced regularly as it gets used up. It features a metal core that serves as the filler material, enveloped in a flux coating that protects the weld from oxidation. As the welding process unfolds, the flux transforms into a slag that blankets the weld, which is later removed once the welding is complete.
MMA CONSUMABLES
Electrodes
Stick welding electrodes are available in various classifications and sizes tailored for different welding applications. To begin, it's essential to select an electrode that corresponds to the type of parent metal you are working with, followed by choosing an appropriate size based on the thickness of the material you intend to weld.
Electrode holder and tongs
The tongs resemble traditional tongs perfectly, featuring grooves on the inner sides that allow you to adjust the angle of your electrode as needed, whereas the electrode holder clamps your electrode in place.
APPLICATIONS
MMA welding is capable of joining thicker materials while maintaining the same amperage output, and it generally offers greater tolerance compared to MIG or TIG processes when dealing with rusty or contaminated surfaces. This characteristic makes MMA welding particularly well-suited for maintenance tasks such as:
- Construction
- Repair work
- Shipbuilding
- Underwater welding
