There are far more than 5 types or processes of welding. Currently the American Welding Society (AWS) states that there are more than 80 different welding and joining processes. However, some of the common welding processes include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and oxyfuel gas welding (OFW).
Larger in Gas Welding. In all arc processes the HAZ is concentrated in a couple inches around your bead. In gas welding it can be double or triple that size.

what are gas welding limitation
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
The environments of welding could be one of the following:- open air- outer space- under waterthese different environments need different energy sources like gas flame, an electric arc, gas flame or laser.
It is arc welding process using a spool of wire that is fed to the material by an electric motor. Different from shielded metal arc welding which uses consumable welding electrodes with a covering of flux to assist and protect the weld. The MIG uses an inert gas (IG) to keep impurities from the welding point. The technical term for MIG is GMAW (gas metal arc welding), this is because most of the time an inert gas is not used, a mixed gas is more likely. Ex. 90-10 Ar-CO2

Welding cylinders contains different types of gas. Oxygen is common to all the kinds of cwelding. The other common gas used is a combustible gas like acetylene which is the fuel for the torch. The fuel gas could also be hydrogen, MPS or MAPP gas, butane, propane, or propylene. Some welding (e.g. aluminum welding) requires a shield gas which protects the surfaces near the flame and improves the quality of the weld. These can include helium, argon, carbon dioxide or nitrogen.
