There are no , non -consumable electrodes, there are slower consumed electrodes, as in TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding in which a Tungsten electrode is used , and in the hands of a very skilled welder , last the longest of all electrodes , but are in the end consumed.

What is the meaning consumable welding?
Consumable electrode welding contain the processes where the electrode acts as the filler material and the electrode that generates the arc. Because the electrode is also the filler material, the electrode 'burns' or is consumed, hence consumable electrode.
What is the difference between a consumable electrode process and a non consumable?
Consumable electrodes actually form the filler metal of a weld. Stick and wire are examples of a consumable electrode. TIG on the other hand only produces the arc for the weld, and the filler metal is fed into it. The tungsten (the electrode) of a TIG torch does not enter the weld.
What is consumable electrodes?
That would refer to your tungsten electrode in TIG welding
When to use dc welding machine and ac welding machine?
Dc welding can be used for non consumable electrodes with consumable electrode heat is transferred from electrode to work by molten metal. Ac welding is desirable for aluminum and magnesium, because it helps break up oxides AC is more stable than Dc.
What is the difference between a non consumable good and a consumable good?
A non consumable good is a good that can be reused. A consumable good is one that will be used and then discarded or eliminated. For example, a car or a sofa is a non consumable good. An example of a consumable good would been food or toilet paper.
What welding process uses a non consumable electrode?
consumable is when the rod or other metal is also used up in the weld, like common mig welding. Non consumable would be like forms of tig welding that don't use any rods or other metals to join the 2 materials together. This is the Distance
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
What is bioelectrode?
Electrode with immobilized enzyme on it. Similar name is enzymatic electrode.
Is anode the electron-providing electrode?
Yes, anode the electron provides electrode. It is stated that an electrode is a conductor that is used to make contact with non-metallic parts of a circuit.
Why is heat transfer efficiency greater in arc welding processes that utilize consumable electrodes?
Because generally the tool used for arc generation (for example the tungsten electrode in GTAW) will absorb some of the heat.
What Gas is metal?
The gas metal arc welding that is also called the metal inert gas. It is a welding process whereby the electric arc forms between the work piece metals and the consumable wire electrode.
Definition of argon welding?
A.K.A. Gas Metal Arc Welding -- Semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
