ARC Welding

ARC Welding

Understand the basics of electric arc welding with electrodes. Learn to handle equipment, read weld symbols, and ensure strong, reliable joints.

Course Details

Overview

Arc welding is a versatile group of welding processes in which heat is generated by an electric arc to join metals. This process generally does not require external pressure and may or may not use filler material, depending on the thickness of the base metal. One of the most widely used methods under this category is Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), where coalescence is achieved by heating the workpiece with an electric arc formed between a flux-coated electrode and the metal surface.As the electrode melts, it provides the filler metal necessary for the weld. Meanwhile, the flux coating decomposes from the arc heat, producing gases that shield the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination. It also forms a protective slag layer over the weld bead, enhancing arc stability and improving weld quality.Arc welding is known for its simplicity and portability. The equipment is relatively inexpensive and easy to operate, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. A broad selection of electrodes is available, allowing this process to be used for joining various metals and their alloys in different positions while still achieving high-quality welds.
