All arc welding processes use an arc to complete a circuit and provide heat for the melting of
materials. However, arc welding processes differ in how the arc is produced and controlled, how
the molten weld pool is protected from oxidation, and whether it uses a consumable or
nonconsumable electrode. In this course, we focus on the process of shielded metal arc
welding.
