Fusion Welding: Arc Welding (AW)
Consumable electrodes
Non-consumable electrodes
Two Basic Types of Arc Welding (Based on
Electrodes)
1. Consumable electrodes
consumed during welding process
added to weld joint as filler metal
in the form of rods or spools of wire
2. Non-consumable electrodes
not consumed during welding process but does get
gradually eroded
filler metal must be added separately if it is added
Arc welding (AW): Arc Shielding
Electro-gas Welding
Stud Welding
AW: non-consumable: Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding (GTAW) or Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG)
Welding
Uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert gas
for arc shielding
Filler rod
Advantages and Disadvantages of GTAW
