Neek 10101-Welding Safety Which of these welding processes uses a flux -coated consumable welding rod? SMAW GlAW FCAW GMAW

## Step 1<br />The question is asking about the welding process that uses a flux-coated consumable welding rod. The options provided are SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, and GMAW.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process uses a flux-coated consumable welding rod. The flux coating on the rod melts during welding and forms a protective shield around the molten metal, preventing it from reacting with the atmosphere.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The other options, GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding), and GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), do not use a flux-coated consumable welding rod.
