 Welding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welding, however, was transformed during the 19th century—in 1800, Sir Humphrey Davy discovered the electric arc, and advances in arc welding continued with the inventions of metal electrodes by a Russian, Nikolai Slavyanov, and an American, C.L. Coffin in the late 1800s, even as carbon arc welding, which used a carbon electrode, gained popularity.
Welding in space is also possible—it was first attempted in 1969 by Russian cosmonauts, when they performed experiments to test shielded metal arc welding, plasma arc welding, and electron beam welding in a depressurized environment.
Shielded metal arc welding was developed during the 1950s, using a consumable electrode and a carbon dioxide atmosphere as a shielding gas, and it quickly became the most popular metal arc welding process.

 Arc-Welding Fundamentals Lincoln Electric
In welding, the arc not only provides the heat needed to melt the electrode and the base metal, but under certain conditions must also supply the means to transport the molten metal from the tip of the electrode to the work.
In arc welding, the intense heat needed to melt metal is produced by an electric arc.
Arc welding may be done with direct current (DC) with the electrode either positive or negative or alternating current (AC).

 MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Arc Welding
Arc welding relies on the intense heat produced from an electrical arc.
An arc forms when a current flows through two electrodes that are separated.
The electricity arcs through the air, or another gas, between the electrodes and gives off light and heat.

 Arc Welding Process
Arc Stud Welding involves the same basic principles and metallurgical aspects as any other arc welding procedure, in that a controlled electric arc is used to melt the end of the stud or electrode and a portion of the base metal.
Welded fasteners or studs may be almost any size, shape, or type and there are literally hundreds, however they must be made of weldable materials and one end of the fastener must be designed for welding.
Conventional DC welding machines of all types may be used, but special power units designed specifically for stud welding are also available.

 Welding Processes Welding Tutorial
Submerged arc welding is defined as "an arc welding process which produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an arc or arcs between a bare metal electrode or electrodes and the work piece.
Resistance welding is "a group of welding processes which produces coalescence of metals with the heat obtained from resistance of the work to electric current in a circuit of which the work is a part, and by the application of pressure".
The AWS definition for a welding process is "a materials joining process which produces coalescence of materials by heating them to suitable temperatures with or without the application of pressure or by the application of pressure alone and with or without the use of filler material".

 Arc Welding Info
The weld metal itself, as deposited, has a cast structure, its composition is determined by the core wire, the flux coating of the electrode, and by the amount of pick-up of parent metal during welding.
The electrode and parent metal act as poles of the arc, the core wire of the electrode melting and being transferred across the arc to coalesce with the molten parent metal and form a bond which in most cases, is stronger than the parent metal.
Welding is not as noisy as riveting, and permits building and alterations to proceed with the least disturbance to occupants.
