Bare metal arc welding
Encyclopedia
Bare metal-arc welding is an arc welding
process in which fusion is obtained by heating with an unshielded arc between a bare or lightly coated electrode
and the work. Pressure is not used and filler metal
is obtained from the electrode.
Arc welding
Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct or alternating current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes...

Filler metal
A filler metal is a metal added in the making of a joint through welding, brazing, or soldering. Four types of filler metals exist—covered electrodes, bare electrode wire or rod, tubular electrode wire and welding fluxes...
