Arc welding is a type of welding using electricity to heat and fuse metal together. In order to control the process the heat must be controlled by varying the current. MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding uses an inert cast to protect the weld from the air at extreme temperatures during the welding process.

Can you use LPG for ARC welding?

ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.


What are welding electrodes used for?

Welding Electrorodes or Welding Rods are used in arc welding. Arc welding is a special type of welding which uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between the base material (e.g. steel) and the electrode. The Welding Ectrorodes can be used for all weldable aluminum and mild steel.
