Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)  is a high-speed, economical process that is sometimes referred to as metal inert gas (MIG) welding (Figure 1). In this process, an arc is struck between the base metal and a continuously supplied consumable electrode, which provides filler metal for the weld (2).

Flux-Cord Arcc Welding (FCAW) is a semi-automated or automatic arc welding process that uses a continuously fed, consumable tubular electrode filled with flux, which provides shielding for the weld pool, either with or without an external shielding gas.
