Task > Stick Welding >

HIGH HEAT EMITTED WITH SPARKS AND SPLATTER - Flux shielded arc welding, or stick welding, is a process where the arc is struck between an electrode flux coated metal rod and the work piece. Both the rod and the surface of the work piece melt to create a weld. Gloves used in this application need to be made from heavyweight elk or cowhide leather and have additional features such as back patches and full sock liners to help protect from high heat and sparks.
