TIG uses tungsten in a gun and electricity to melt the material, the user must manually add filler rod. Needs shielding gas Mig uses a gun, but the filler rod flows out of the gun. Electricity flows from tip of wire into material. needs shielding gas except with flux-cored wire. SMAW uses pre fluxed electrodes. electricity flows trough electrode holder, into material when material is scraped by electrode. No shielding gas. Oxy-fuel. Flame welding. Oxygen and a fuel (acetylene, propane, mapp, etc.) are mixed in a torch, ignited, and used to melt material. filler wire is manually added. There are more indepth explanations, and advanced machines, but that is the basics.
