For beginners in welding, starting with a welding process that suits your needs and the materials you’ll be working with is recommended. The most common welding processes for beginners are Stick welding and MIG welding. For Stick welding, you’ll need welding electrodes or welding rods. The type of electrode you choose depends on the base metal you are welding.
