gas tungsten arc welding
welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode
arc welding
welding process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals when cool result in a binding of the metals
shielded metal arc welding
manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld
gas metal arc welding
welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable wire electrode and the workpieces, which heat up, melt and join; a gas feeds through the welding gun, shielding the process from contaminants in air
submerged arc welding
joining metals using electricity, beneath a granulated flux material
welding power supply
piece of equipment used to weld
shielding gas
inert or semi-inert gases that are commonly used in several welding processes
plasma arc welding
arc welding in which electric arc is formed between an electrode and the workpiece; by positioning the electrode within the body of the torch, the plasma arc is separated from the shielding gas envelope and forced through a fine-bore copper nozzle
atomic hydrogen welding
arc welding process using two tungsten electrodes in a shielding atmosphere of hydrogen
Flux-cored arc welding
semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process
electroslag welding
single Pass welding
stud welding
form of spot welding where a bolt or nut is welded onto another metal part

Electrogas welding
carbon arc welding
process which produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an arc between a nonconsumable carbon electrode and the work-piece
