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.
However, fusion welding processes, such as gas welding, arc welding, and gas metal arc welding are used in a large number of industries. Gas welding is a process by which the two pieces of metal are locally heated to beyond their melting point, at which time they effectively become one piece of metal.This can be done with or without an alloy rod. Metal inert gas and tungsten inert gas welding are examples of gas metal arc welding processes.ressure welding is a process in which external pressure is applied to produce welded joints either at temperatures below the melting point, which is solid state welding, or at a temperature above the melting point, which is fusion state welding.
