Other kinds of welding. Some kinds of welding do not use an electric arc. They might use a flame, electricity without an arc, an energy beam, or physical force. The most common type of welding that does not use an arc is called gas welding.
FCAW FCAW stands for Flux Cored Arc Welding. The flux of the welding wire is in the center of the electrode instead of on the outside. The process requires wire feed spools and cable. The rod is pushed through the center of the cable and through the welding gun. Shielding gas may or may not be used depending on the flux material in the core of the wire. FCAW has the advantage over SMAW for all position welding and the speed of welding since the wire is continuously fed.
