'Waning' means its getting smaller, while 'waxing' is getting bigger   'Gibbous' part means its a little past half full (mid-stage)   If it's Waning, it's past the Full â¦ Moon stage and getting smaller-Gibbous is only while it's bigger than mid-stage.axing, as opposed to waning, is when the moon is getting bigger, going towards full. Gibbous is the phase when it's between half and full. So waxing gibbous is when it's near â¦ ly full.
The advantages of Plasma Transferred Wire Arc welding versus traditional plasma arc welding are as follows: Plasma Transferred Wire Arc welding is a high automated process and can be reproduced and replicated in large scale production and manufacturing facilities.
Welding Rods Explained! There are a lot of different welding electrodes and wires out there. In the field, welding electrodes are usually referred to as welding rods so I will use that term here. Stick Welding is also the term of choice in the field for SMAW, the acronym for Shielded Metal Arc Welding. Stick welding used to be done with a bare welding rod.
