Description Arc welding is a process that uses electric current to create heat, which melts the material being welded. The two electrodes that conduct the electric current are passed over the areas to be welded and the electric current is turned off when the arc forms. The heat from the arc melts the two pieces being welded together. With this process, the welded joint is strong and has a smooth surface.
