For repairing cracks in a high-stress Wave Energy Converter (WEC) structural joint, the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding, with low-hydrogen electrodes, is generally the most suitable technique, especially for on-site repairs. While other techniques like Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) can offer higher quality welds under controlled conditions, SMAW provides greater versatility and is less sensitive to wind ....
