ARC welding, also called SMAW or stick welding, uses a flux-coated electrode (welding rod) to join steel. It is simple, works well outdoors and on rusty or painted steel, and is the most common process for gates, grills, trusses, structural steel and repairs in the Philippines.

How to choose an ARC welding machine

  • Amperage: 200A handles 2.6mm and 3.2mm rods for light and home jobs. 300A and above runs 4.0mm rods and suits daily fabrication.
  • Inverter or AC commercial type: DC inverter welders are light and give a smooth arc. AC copper coil machines are heavy but simple and rugged.
  • Duty cycle: for long welding runs, choose a higher-amp machine so it is not working at its limit.
  • 2-in-1 options: some machines also do TIG or MIG, so you can grow into other processes later.
