Portable Arc Welders

Portable Arc Welding is the Stick welding (Shielded Metal Arc) process using a Portable Gas powered or Diesel powered welding generator. The stick (electrode) is consumed in an arc between the electrode and the workpiece. As the weld bead forms, the stick contributes molten metal to the weld puddle. Eventually, the electrode has to be replaced. To preserve the integrity ofthe weld, the electrode is coated with a flux that vaporizes toform a protective atmosphere around the arc. The flux forms a slag blanket which must be removed afterthe weld has cooled. Stick is a relatively slower process that requires a moderately high level of skill.Portable Arc Welding machines are also power generators Portable Arc Welding machines can go anywhere the job will take it.
