What is Welding Electrode?
An electrode is a coated metal wire. It is made of materials that are similar to the metal being welded. To begin, there are consumable and non-consumable electrodes. The electrodes in SMAW, also known as a stick, are consumables, which means they wear out during use and melt with the weld.
TIG Welding Electrodes are non-consumable, so they do not melt and become part of the weld. Electrodes are continuously fed wire during GMAW or MIG welding. Flux-cored arc welding necessitates the use of a continuously fed consumable tubular electrode containing a flux.

How make tig welder to mig welder
switch from tig welding to mig by switching your current from AC to DC for mig. change from your tig gun to your mig gun. turn water flow off. proper ground and weld away.
Plasma cutters support
Plasma Arc cutting is an excellent choice for most cutting applications but it is particularly well suited for applications where speed and excellent cut quality are important. Because of the intense heat of the plasma arc – around 40,000° F compared to 5,700° F, with gases used with Oxy-Fuel torches – the cut is clean with little or no dross.
Welding Question
The plasma also cuts ferrous and non-ferrous metals much faster than an Oxy-Fuel torch or abrasive saws, with low or no heat affected zone, especially on thinner metals. A clean cut with little or no dross means less time and money is required to finish the work piece. Parts are virtually weld-ready
My 225 miller bobcat welder will not do nothing the battery is new the starter is good I got it tested all it does is click
The presence of a click (if it is the starter clicking) should indicate no fault in the starter switch, etc.
New battery (fully charged?) and a good starter motor - if the current could reach the starter the engine would have to crank, assuming there is nothing wrong with the engine or generator preventing the engine from turning.
Try rotating the engine by hand to ensure it isn't locked and test the battery and starter by energising the starter solenoid manually. Engine should crank.
If the engine doesn't crank the high current supply or battery/engine ground is suspect.
What is the difference between TIG & MIG welding?
MIG welding is also called Metal inert gas welding, gas metal arc (GMAW) welding. MIG welding uses an arc of electricity that creates a short circuit amidst a constant anode and a cathode. The short circuit produces heat and a non-reactive gas. This melts metal, enabling it to be mixed together. After the heat is removed, the metal cools down and then solidifies, creating new fused metal.
MIG wire is used in MIG welding. Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding utilizes a non-consumable tungsten electrode that produces the electric arc for the weld. Unlike MIG welding, TIG welding does not require additional metal to be added.

Difference between mig welding and arc welding?
Arc welding is any welding process that uses electricity, which includes MIG, TIG, and SMAW. SMAW Shielded metal arc welding is most commonly referred to as stick arc welding. In SMAW welding the stick electrode contains a flux that keeps the atmosphere from contacting and contaminating molten metal. It is a good choice for welding thicker metals. It is a manual process, that is hard to get a hand of. yet once done. MIG welding is a semi-automated process that is a much better option to use on thinner metals. It is easier to get hang of than SMAW welding. A welding
MIG wire is used in the MIG welding process. TIG welding is the hardest as compared to SMAW & MIG welding. It is capable of producing an autogenis weld which is one does not use any filler. These are some differences in arc welding processes.
