    The document describes various welding processes categorized by name, characteristics, and applications. Some key welding types include gas metal arc welding (GMAW) which uses a continuous consumable electrode and shielding gas for industry applications, and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) which uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode for high quality welds in aerospace. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) uses a consumable electrode covered in flux and is commonly used in construction and outdoors. Resistance spot welding is often used in the automobile industry to weld two or more thin workpieces using two pointed electrodes that apply pressure and current.
