Some electrodes (welding rods) can be used AC or DC. Some are strictly DC. You may find that most electrodes run smoother on DC. Most industries purchase machines with DC capability.

Usually the rating of a welding machine is expressed on the DC output side. What you need to state is what the input in voltage and amperage is. It is this side of the welder that is connected to the supply breaker. On the nameplate there will be a voltage, amperage both stated for an AC supply connection.
What is the difference between arc welder and inverter arc welder?
Both use electrical current to melt the base metal and the filler metal. Both could be considered ARC welding.

MIG welding uses a spool of wire and can be run for hours on end. MIG is usually easier to learn.
