What is the difference between a consumable electrode process and a non consumable?

∙ 11y ago
Consumable electrodes actually form the filler metal of a weld. Stick and wire are examples of a consumable electrode. TIG on the other hand only produces the arc for the weld, and the filler metal is fed into it. The tungsten (the electrode) of a TIG torch does
not enter the weld.

∙ 11y agoconsumable is when the rod or other metal is also used up in the weld, like common mig welding. Non consumable would be like forms of tig welding that don't use any rods or other metals to join the 2 materials together

∙ 11y agoWhen you weld with electrodes, you are heating the edges of the workpiece to their melting point then adding "filler" metal to the weld to make it stronger. A consumable electrode provides both heat and filler metal; a non-consumable electrode requires the welder to add filler metal from another source. Non-consumable electrodes are used in the TIG process; consumable electrodes are used in shielded metallic arc welding (stick welding), flux-core arc welding ("wirefeed" welding without shielding gas) and MIG welding (wirefeed with shielding gas).

∙ 11y agoin consumable electrode we use rod,but in non-consumable electrode we don,t use any rod aor metal to join pieces.

What Gas is metal?
The gas metal arc welding that is also called the metal inert gas. It is a welding process whereby the electric arc forms between the work piece metals and the consumable wire electrode.
Definition of argon welding?
A.K.A. Gas Metal Arc Welding -- Semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
What welding process uses a non consumable electrode?
consumable is when the rod or other metal is also used up in the weld, like common mig welding. Non consumable would be like forms of tig welding that don't use any rods or other metals to join the 2 materials together. This is the Distance

Shielded metal arc welding is sometimes called welding?
It is sometimes called "stick welding", because of the filler metal. The filler metal is in the form of heavy wire coated with flux.
What is difference between process and mechanism?
process is process and mechanism is mechanism.
What is the major difference between control process and process control?
Difference between control process and process control is that system control process is typically the large scale version of where process control is used.
What is difference between welding rod and electrode?
welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process
