Question

Electrode gets consumed in the following welding process ________ .

A.

gas

B.

resistance

C.

thermit

D.

arc

Answer ( Option D)

arc

Solution

Electrode gets consumed in the arc welding process. As the electrode itself undergoes melting in the process of welding, it gets consumed and thus it is named as a consumable electrode. It acts as filler and thus it supplies necessary filler material that is required to fill the root gap. It is mostly used in the MIG welding process. 

Hence, the correct option is (D).

&Key Points:-

Arc welding processes that uses consumable electrodes are Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Gas Metal Arc Welding, Flux-cored arc welding, submerged arc welding, and electro gas welding.
