How Does an Arc Welding Machine Work?
Key Takeaway
Basic Principle: Arc welding machines create an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece, generating intense heat to melt metals and join them together.Power Source: They use either AC or DC power to generate the arc, with DC offering better stability for most welding applications.Electrode Function: The electrode can be consumable (melts to form the weld) or non-consumable (used with filler materials).Shielding Protection: Arc welding requires shielding to protect the we
