On that topic...
SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) - "stick" welding - is "the only one".
Okay I have never done / tried self-shielded flux-cored-wire.
* when you are outdoors, the equipment is too sensitive and expensive
for the rough-and-ready work typical of site work. eg. how well would
a wire-feeder do if splashed with seawater (?)
* the wire rusts then presumably won't feed - so presumably it can only
be used in site conditions when you have a "volume" job where you use
reels at a time
So it's "stick" welding for most site work.
