Well, first of all it's entirely possible to weld with ac as well. But if you want dc it's usually accomplished with diodes in something called a bridge rectifier.
A rectifier.
rectifier circuit convert ac to dc signal
The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.
A generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. An oscillator is used to convert dc to ac
it convert ac signal into dc signal But it will give only half-wave rectification.
Yes, it is normal for a welding machine to convert AC voltage to a DC voltage.
Can be either, or even selectable.
An AC welding machine is one that uses electrical power from house or shop and has a controlled output in AC or Alternating Current.

any metal
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.
Yes it is available
You can do Shielded Metal Arc Welding (stick) with an appropriate electrode. If the machine has a high frequency arc stabilizer then you can also TIG (tungsten inert gas) weld aluminum. Wire feed processes require a DC machine
They sell a spot welding gun that plugs into a DC arc welder. If you have an AC225 or some other AC-only machine, this won't work. In general, tho, spot welders have their own power supplies so you don't need to reconfigure your stick welding machine for this.
6010 is intended for DC welding. It has no additives in the covering to keep the arc going each time the AC voltage reverses, so it is very hard to keep the arc struck. The result is usually poor quality welds. The solution is to switch to a rod designed for AC, such as 6013.

Both are shielded metal welders but differ in the electricity they use. Ac welders can weld heavier metal while dc welders are better for thinner metals. Ac welders can weld magnetized metals. Dc welders can not. The arc in an ac welder is harder to control because of the pulsating current. Dc welders are more expensive. Some welding machines offer both options.
