Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) equipment manufactured by the Lincoln Electric Company represents a significant portion of the welding industry. These machines facilitate the joining of metals by using an electric arc between a consumable electrode and the workpiece. The electrode, coated in flux, creates a protective gas shield, preventing atmospheric contamination of the weld.
Reliable and versatile, this type of welding equipment is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and repair due to its portability and ability to operate in various environments. The Lincoln Electric Company’s long history of innovation in arc welding technology has contributed to the development of robust and efficient SMAW machines, playing a vital role in numerous industrial applications worldwide.
