What are the types of welding?

Question

Accepted Answer

There are several types of welding including MIG, TIG, Stick, Flux-Cored, and Submerged Arc Welding.

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding uses a wire electrode and a shielding gas to join two metal pieces together.
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding uses a tungsten electrode and a filler metal to create a strong bond between two metal pieces.
Stick welding, also known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to create an arc that melts the metal pieces together.
Flux-Cored welding uses a wire electrode with a flux core that melts and creates a protective gas shield around the weld.
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) uses a granular flux that covers the weld and creates a protective barrier against contaminants.
