What is electric welding?

Electric welding is a process that uses electrical energy to generate heat, which fuses two or more pieces of metal together. Common types include arc welding, resistance welding, and MIG/TIG welding. The electrical current creates an arc or resistance at the joint, melting the metals and allowing them to bond as they cool. Electric welding is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and repair work due to its efficiency and versatility.

What is the difference between Electric Welding vs Arc Welding?

Electric Welding and Arc Welding often overlap, as electric welding is a broad category that includes arc welding techniques. Both require similar certifications and are used in similar environments. The main difference lies in the specific methods and equipment used, with electric welding encompassing various techniques that utilize electrical power to join metals.
