STICK WELDING
Stick welding is probably the most familiar welding process known. A coated ELECTRODE, the welding rod, is clamped into an ELECTRODE HOLDER, an insulated clamping device, which is connected to the ELECTRODE CABLE, a heavy wire. The WORK, the piece of metal to be welded, is connected to the WORK CABLE, a heavy wire with a WORK CLAMP on one end. The two cables connect to OUTPUT TERMINALS on the welder, which is a high current power source. See Figure B.3.
