 SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING
(SMAW)
is a manual arc welding process that uses a
consumable electrode coated in flux. Current in the
form of either AC or DC from a welding power
supply, is used to form an electric arc between the
electrode and the metals to be joined. As the weld is
laid, the flux coating of the electrode disintegrates,
giving off vapors that serve as a Shielding gas and
providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the
weldment from air entrapment and slag prevent
sudden cooling

WELDING (GTAW)
 is an arc welding process that uses a non
consumable tungsten electrode to produce Arc
and filler rod is use to make weld. The weld area
is protected from atmospheric through inert
shielding gas i.e. Argon
