Stick Welding FAQ

What are the advantages of stick welding?

Stick welding is highly portable, works in windy outdoor conditions without shielding gas, handles rusty or dirty metals better than MIG or TIG, and is effective on thick materials. It is the go-to process for field welding and structural work.

What industries use stick welding?

Stick welding is widely used in structural steel construction, pipeline work, shipbuilding, heavy equipment repair, and maintenance. It remains essential for field work where portability and tolerance to outdoor conditions are required.
