2. Electric resistance welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_resistance_welding

   Electric resistance welding. Electric resistance welding (ERW) is a welding process in which metal parts in contact are permanently joined by heating them with an electric current, melting the metal at the joint. [1] Electric resistance welding is widely used, for example, in manufacture of steel pipe and in assembly of bodies for automobiles. [2]

3. Arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_welding

   Arc welding is a welding process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals, when cool, result in a binding of the metals. It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between a metal stick ("electrode") and the base material to melt ...

4. Wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire

   Single, usually cylindrical, flexible strand or bar or rod of metal. Overhead power cabling. The conductor consists of seven strands of steel (centre, high tensile strength), surrounded by four outer layers of aluminium (high conductivity). Sample diameter 40 mm. A wire is a flexible, round, bar of metal. wires are commonly formed by drawing ...

5. Shielded metal arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_metal_arc_welding

   Shielded metal arc welding. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding[1] or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld. An electric current, in the form of either alternating current or ...

6. Welding power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding_power_supply

   A welding power supply is a device that provides or modulates an electric current to perform arc welding. [1] There are multiple arc welding processes ranging from Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) to inert shielding gas like Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) or Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Welding power supplies primarily serve as devices that ...

7. Symbols and conventions used in welding documentation

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_and_conventions...

   The basic welding symbol which goes on the reference line to indicate the shape of the weld such as a fillet or plug. The symbol is placed on the arrow side or other side of the line to indicate which side of the joint the weld goes. The dimensions and other numbers such as the length of the weld or number of spot welds go above and below the ...
