4
Q

What is also known an stick welding, heat created by the arc, and shield created from burning flux?

A

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)

5
Q

What is also called MIG, uses solid wire electrode, shielding gas is required, and considered semi-automatic. (Has 4 modes of transfer)

A

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
