An arc welding process wherein coalescence is produced by heating with an arc between a continuous filler metal (consumable) electrode and the work. Shielding is obtained entirely from an externally supplied gas, or gas mixture. MIG welding requires the use of an inert shield gas.
Welding Tech
A composite tubular electrode consisting of a metal sheath and a core of various powdered materials, producing no more than slag islands on the face of the weld bead. External shielding is required.
A tubular electrode process where the hollow configuration contains alloying materials.
Similar to Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding.
