From the factory a lot of SPOT WELDS are used. That I know. Whenever you see a bunch of circles in line, spaced out, and at the joints of two surfaces-thats a spot weld.
For doing "re-word" or modifying, typically MIG is used for many applications. However, others can be used as well.
Exothermic Welding is used for earth mat conductors
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).
EFW: Electric Fusion Welding is a more general term which includes Electric resistance welding (ERW) and other types of welding such as Arc welding.
2 basic types, Gas shielding, and flux shielding. Gas shielding comes from compressed tanks of inert gas such as argon. these gases are pumped through the welding hose and over the weld pool. The flux type protects the weld by covering it in a layer of slag that prevent it from being contaminated by the surrounding air.
In Pressure Welding the parts(work pieces) to be joined are heated only up to the plastic state and then fusedtogether by applying the external pressure.the two different types of pressure welding are:forge welding and resistance welding
Welding anywhere on your car is not recommended unless you disconnect the battery. Especially TIG welding.
For welding 8 mm thickness metals, common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding). The choice depends on the type of metal and specific requirements.
Yes, resistance welding is used in production welding. It is used extensively in the automotive industry.
Arc welding uses an electric arc to melt and join metal pieces together, while resistance welding uses heat generated by the resistance to electric current flow between two metal pieces to join them together. Arc welding is more versatile and can be used for various types of metals, while resistance welding is more suited for high-speed production and is commonly used in automotive and appliance manufacturing.
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.

There are a few commonly used welding process. The top used are shielded metal and arc welding.

welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process
