the welding lead is the cable coming from the welding machine that either feeds the wire and shielding gas (mig) or or provides current to the electrode through the holder

How does welding transform work?

The welding transformer - converts 'standard' mains electricity to high-amp power. The negative lead is attached to the piece of work, and the positive to the welding 'gun'. Touching the welding electrode (from the gun) - completes an electrical circuit - making an 'arc' with enough power to melt the metals together.


Which welding process is used primarily for welding ferrous metals such as iron and steel?

I would say that SMAW (stick) is still the most widely used process. The GMAW (mig) process has gained a wide acceptance in construction and fabrication and may even have surpassed stick welding in many situations. Unfortunately with mig welding the machine has to be close to the welding site. Dragging a welding lead into and around fabrications is still much easier than moving a mig machine.
