Electrons flowing across an air gap produce an arc. The resistance built up that is needed to push these electrons across the gap produces the heat. This same resistance causes the electrodes to get hot.
The sparks generated during welding are called welding sparks. They are tiny fragments of molten metal that separate from the welding material or workpiece due to the intense heat generated during the welding process.
The temperature of metal after welding can vary depending on the type of metal and welding process used. In general, the metal can reach temperatures over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit during welding. It is important to allow the metal to cool down slowly after welding to prevent it from warping or cracking.
Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
Stick welding is a type of welding that uses an electrical current to produce an intensely hot plasma arc that melts metal together while adding filler metal, which is what the "stick" electrode is made of. The electrode (or stick) is usually about a foot in length and is covered in flux to prevent atmospheric contamination. It is held by an electrified clamp that the welder runs across the joint to weld.
Argon is used in welding because it is an inert gas, which means it does not react with the molten metal during the welding process. This helps prevent oxidation and other impurities from forming in the weld, resulting in a stronger and more durable bond. Argon also provides a stable arc during welding, making it easier to control the welding process.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".

Shielded Metal Arc Welding, commonly called Stick welding. A shielded electrode passes a current between itself and the workpiece. Both the base-metal and the electrode are melted by the current and the electrode is consumed and deposited into the melted puddle forming the weldment.
