But submerged welding is also a consumable electrode. Then how the answer is TIG only? Please explain in detail.

Melting electrodes are called consumable electrodes in the process of welding. Non-melting electrodes are no consumable electrodes in the process of welding.

Hai, anyone Define consumable and non-consumable.

Metal inert gas welding - MIG welding.

Give MIG Welding Abbreviation.

Tungsten inert gas is non consumable electrode.

TIG welding is non consumable while MIG welding is consumable welding process.

In which welding process 2 non consumable electrodes are used.

Because the electrode is made of tungsten so the electrode is non-consumable but in rare cases high heat generated between the workpiece and electrode there is chances to melt the electrode.

An arc welding process in which fusion is produced by heating with an electric arc or arcs between a bare metal electrode or electrodes and the work. The welding is sheild by a blanket of granuler, fusible material on the work pressure is not used filler metal is obtained from the electrode and sometimes from supplementary welding rod. Submerged arc welding is used to join two plates and this is used in shipping and some types of industry's.
