Wait, is it really limited to just carbon and low alloy steels?

I've heard the welding rates are definitely slower than SMAW.

The visibility of the weld during the process seems like a big deal, but I can't remember if it's a limitation or just a characteristic of stud arc welding.

I feel like I read somewhere that stud arc welding is limited to flat positions, but I can't recall if that's true or just a misconception.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. I thought stud arc welding was a pretty versatile process. I'm not sure if the welding rate or material limitations are the most significant. I'll have to review my notes on this one.

Ah, I think I've got it! The key limitation of stud arc welding is that it's only suitable for flat positions, right? I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Okay, let's see here. I remember that stud arc welding is limited in the types of materials it can be used on, so I'm thinking option B might be the right answer. But I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident I can eliminate a few of the options and narrow it down.

Ha! Imagine trying to weld in the overhead position with this process. That would be a disaster!
