A gas which does not change under a given set of conditions

Lengths of wire that are connected with your welding machine to create an electric arc

The pressure or force that pushes the electrons through a conductor.

An electric current that reverses its direction many times a second at regular intervals, typically used in power supplies.

The rapid cooling of metal using water, air or oil

This material cleans metals to prepare them for welding

The area where materials are fused together

The strength of the electrical current

This welding technique uses a filler metal to create a bond

A metal made from two or more combined elements

The metal that will be cut or welded

An electric current flowing in one direction only

Non-iron based metals such as aluminum

The amount of power required to maintain a current of one amp at a pressure of one volt

a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma.

a type of welding process using an electric arc to create heat to melt and join metals

uses the heat generated by an electric arc struck between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece to fuse metal in the joint area and produce a molten weld pool.

Welding process that uses a continuous solid wire electrode heated and fed into the weld pool from a welding gun.

the welding process which relies on combustion of oxygen and acetylene
