Shielded Metal Arc Welding is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode coated in flux. An electric curre
either alternating current or direct current, forms electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined. As the weld i
laid, the flux coating of the electrode disintegrates, providing a shielding gas and a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld
from contamination until it cools
An arc welding process that produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an arc between a tungsten electrode
(nonconsumable) and the workpiece. Shielding is obtained from an inert gas. Also called TIG welding.
