For all intents and purposes , if you don't melt the base metal you are not welding. So I guess the answer is "all of them"

What are welding rods?
Welding rods are fillers that add to the molten pool of metal. They are usually stronger than the metals being fused. In arc welding, they have a coating that burns and creates a shield around the puddle. welding rods are used for weld two pieces of metal together, or to cut metal if you have big enough rods and enough amps.
What happens if the GMA welding electrode is allowed to strike the base metal outside of the molten weld pool?
It is possible for the welding process to stop. Without the resistance of the hot molten metal, high amperage surges occur each time the electrode tip touches the base metal. This results in a loud pop and a shower of sparks. The same thing occurs each time a new weld is started.
What is dual shield welding?
Welding process that uses both flux core, within the wire, and gas to protect the molten weld pool from contamination.
What is meant by oxidation during welding?
When the molten metal of the weld pool reacts with the oxygen in the air. Typically, in arc welding a shielding gas is used. Usually argon as it does not react because it's a halogen. If welding iron or steel, oxidation causes the build up of iron oxide which is rust.
What is weld pool?
A small "pool" of molten metal that is manipulated to crate a weld bead.
What is the main difference between filler rods and electrodes?
Filler rods are used to add metal to a molten weld pool during the welding process and electrodes actually have electricity running through them to deposit metal into the weld with the exception of TIG welding where the tungsten electrode is used solely for heat.... Hope this was helpful
What is CO2 welding?
CO2 welding is a welding process that uses carbon dioxide to protect the weld pool from oxidisation during the welding process. It is also known as Metal Inert Gas(MIG), Manual Arc Gas Shielded(MAGS), welding. CO2 is not the only gas used, it needs to be heavier than air to work. The weld pool is, a pool of weld or liquid/molten metal that solidifies as one when finished welding, it is usually between two items so as to fuse the pieces together. CO2 welding uses a long coil of filler wire that is fed in through the handheld torch, this filler wire melts as it completes the electrical circuit by means of an electric arc which reaches temperature of around 3100 degrees Celsius, and unsurprisingly this melts the metal.
What is gouging in welding process?
Gouging is a process where an arc is established between a carbon rod and the metal to be gouged and the metal is melted. A steady flow of air is blown into that molten pool removing the molten metal. Increasing the amperage or slowing down the travel speed allows a deeper gouge. Speeding up the travel speed or decreasing the amperage removes less metal. Copper coated carbon rods are used and are available in different diameters and shapes.
What is the purpose of a filler rod in welding?
while doing the welding ,the weld metal should be deposit in the weld pool of parent material and electrode.In some type of welding like TIG ,the electode is not consumable ,it is used to create arc betwenn the electode and the parent material.In such cases,the filler metal or wire is used to join the parent material
An underground pool that contains molten rock?
A magma chamber.
How do you set current in Gas tungsten arc welding?
for giving the heat to rod and make joint easily. if you are referring to Tig welding or GTAW as you call it in America the amperage depends on the thickness of metal the thicker the metal the higher amperage you will need to create a welding pool. Unless you are very experienced, you will have to go through trail and error to set the right amps. always start off low and increase your amps until you get a pool that would fall through if you did not start moving and applying the filler rod. Your weld should penetrate right the way through.
What fluxing agents act as scavengers in the molten weld pool?
