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 welds from BWE for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), use stick electrodes to weld mild steel, low alloy, stainless steels, cast iron, and hard facing for repair, maintenance, and fabrication. Weld a wide range of materials and thicknesses in the shop or in the field. Best for windy conditions and adverse environments.
