What is arc welding?

Arc welding is a welding process that uses an electric arc to create heat to melt and join metals. A power supply creates an electric arc between an electrode and the base material, melting the metals at the welding point. It's commonly used in manufacturing, construction, and repair to join steel, aluminum, and other metals.
