Welding is a process of joining similar metals together. It is one of the methods of making high-strength joints of two or more different parts. Filler metals melt with joining materials and are consumed during the welding process. Flux is used to produce a gas shield around the weld pool and to prevent the oxidation of hot metal. It acts as a deoxidizer and prevents the formation of porosity in the weld pool. Flux does not form the final part of welding and is wasted during the process. Filler metals and flux are welding consumables. Welding electrodes, metal wires, flux cored wires, and shielding gases are other welding consumables. Covered in this Report
