TIG -means- tungsten inert gas welding, here tungsten is used as non-consumable electrode.

MIG welding-electrode is consumable.

Man made welding-electrode is consumable.

Man made and MIG both welding electrode are consumable.

Metal Inet Gas welding is consumable electrode.

What is submerge welding?

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.

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.

In which welding process 2 non consumable electrodes are used.

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