Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and base material to melt metals. It can use direct or alternating current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes. The welding region is usually protected by a shielding gas. Common arc welding processes include shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding. Shielded metal arc welding uses a consumable electrode coated in flux, while gas metal arc welding uses a continuous wire electrode and shielding gas fed through a welding gun.

Introduction
Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to
create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt
the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or
alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes.
The welding region is usually protected by some type of shielding gas,
vapor, or slag. Arc welding processes may be manual, semi-automatic, or
fully automated. first developed in
the late part of the !"the century, arc
welding became commercially
important in shipbuilding during the
second sold $ar. Today it remains an
important process for the fabrication
of steel structures and vehicles.

Arc welding is one of alternative for opining process in manufacturing.


Arc welding process had done by create an electric arc between electrode
and the base material to melt the metal at the welding point using welding
power supply. The welding region is sometimes protected by some type
of inert or semi-inert gas, known as a shielding gas and sometime adds by
an evaporating filler material. shielded metal arc welding (#'A$), also
known as manual metal arc (''A) welding or informally as stick &
welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable
electrode coated in flu to lay the weld. They can use either direct
current (DC) or alternating current (AC) from a welding power supply,
used to form an electric arc between the electrode and the metal to be
joined. As the weld is laid, the flu coating of the electrode disintegrates,
giving off vapors that serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of
slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric
contamination. as metal arc welding ( 'A$), sometimes referred to by
its sub types metal inert gas ('* ) welding or metal active gas ('A )
welding, is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a
continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed
through a welding gun. A constant voltage, direct current power source is
most commonly used with 'A$, but constant current systems, as well as
alternating current, can be used. There are four primary methods of metal
transfer in 'A$, called globular, short-circuiting, spray, and pulsed-spray
