Arc Welding processes and Equipments - Arc welding is a group of welding processes wherein coalescence is produced by heating with an electric arc or arcs, mostly without the application of pressure and with or without the use of filler metal depending upon the base plate thickness.
Various arc welding processes discussed in this chapter are:
1. Carbon Arc Welding.
2. Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
3. Submerged Arc Welding.
4. TIG (or GTAW) Welding.
5. MIG (or GMAW) Welding.
6. Electroslag Welding.
7. Electro gas Welding.
8. Plasma Arc Welding.
9. Arc Spot Welding.
10. Stud (Arc) Welding.
