Answer:

shielded electrodes give metal smotth and clean welds and bare electrodes reduces spattering.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shielded electrodes minimize sulfur, oxides, and other types of impurities within the base metal to give regular, smooth, and clean welds while bare electrodes, makes welding more manageable and reduces spattering

Shielded electrodes minimize sulfur, oxides, and other types of impurities within the base metal to give regular, smooth, and clean welds. These coated electrodes also produce a more stable electric arc compared to bare electrodes, which makes welding more manageable and reduces spattering.
