Arc Welding is a fusion welding process that joins metals by using an electric arc to create intense heat, melting the metals and following them to fuse together. The arc is generated between an electrode (welding rod or wire) and the workpiece, creating a molten pool of metal that solidifies upon cooling, forming a strong metallurgical bond.
It works by using an electric arc from an AC or DC power source to generate a staggering heat around 6,500 degrees Fahrenheit at the tip, to melt the base metals, and to create a pool of molten metal and join the two pieces.
It is versatile and can join metals of varying thicknesses. Its high productivity boosts production for time-sensitive projects. It is compatible with carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other metals.
