Arc Welding

Arc welding is a process that joins metal pieces together by creating an intense electric arc between an electrode and the metals. The heat generated melts the metal surfaces, allowing them to fuse as they cool and solidify. It's commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and repair work, providing strong and durable joints. Shielding gases or flux are often used to protect the molten metal from contamination, ensuring a high-quality weld. The process requires skill to control the arc, temperature, and movement, but it’s essential for creating sturdy metal structures and components.
