SMAW on mild steel involves using a flux-coated consumable electrode to create an electric arc between the electrode and the mild steel workpiece. The arc generates intense heat (around 3,000–6,000°C) that melts both the electrode and the base metal, forming a molten weld pool. As the weld cools, it solidifies into a strong joint.
