  • Welding - Various Processes
DEF

A welding process producing coalescence of metals with molten slag which melts the filler metal and the surfaces of the work to be welded. [Definition standardized by the AWS.]

OBS

The molten weld pool is shielded by this slag which moves along the full cross section of the joint as welding progresses. The process is initiated by an arc which heats the slag. The arc is then extinguished and the conductive slag is maintained in a molten condition by its resistance to electric current passing between the electrode and the work.
