Explanation:

Shielded metal arc welding:

  • consumable electrode is provided for the welding
  • The coating on the electrode basically gets vapourised and creates a shielded environment for welding.

Submerged arc welding:

  • consumable electrode is used 
  • Instead of electrode coating, external flux is provided to avoid the oxidation of welding material
  • Only used for the horizontal positions

Tungsten inert gas welding:

  • A non-consumable tungsten electrode is used
  • Inert gas argon or helium is used 
  • A separate filler material is used for welding 
  • It is also called gas tungsten arc welding
