A welding rectifier takes in the a/c output of a welding transformer, and the output is d/c. Used with old school welding Transformers which were all a/c, in order to get d/c for use with low hydrogen rods etc.

Why is a transformer rectifier often prefferred for smaw?
SMAW stands for shielded metal arc welding. The rectifier used in the welding machines must be referring to this type welding.
What type of welding machine does not have positive and negative terminal connection?
Transformer type welding machine
What is the difference between rectifier and inverter type welding machine?
A welding rectifier is a m/c which converts A.C. supply to D.C.supply. Rectifiers are used for heavy welding work. An invertor is a welding m/c which converts A.C. supply to D.C.supply and then again converts D.C. to A.C. The wt. of invertor welding m/c is less than a welding transformer.
Does the commutator of a DC machine act as a half-wave rectifier?
No.It act as fullwave rectifier

How do you set up a welding rectifier?
A rectifier is a type of welding machine. Fairly new development that changes common electrical supplies to voltage and amperage that can be used to weld. It uses less electricity than standard welding machines (usually transformers). It will require a certain supply (voltage - amperage) that you connect the machine to and should state the minimum requirements somewhere on the machine.

Digital Control of welding when welding
What is the difference between welding rectifier and welding transformer?
A rectifier is an arrangement of diodes (devices that only allow current to flow in one direction), half-wave or full-wave, that converts AC to pulsated DC. A capacitor (condenser) is used to smooth out the pulsated DC for a more true DC supply. A transformer is usually comprised of two coils of wire around an iron core that changes the ratio of input voltage/current to output voltage/current. It does this by induction (a magnetic field crossing through a coil of wire producing electricity). The Primary coil (the input) usually is a bit thicker and has less windings than the Secondary coil (the output).
