Arc and stick is the same thing, simply put you have a rod which is the filler surrounded by a flux.

You strike the arc with the end of the rod, the metal melts into the weld pool and the flux burns to create a shield around the weld pool. Very good for welding outside as the shield gas is less likely to blow away but you do have to chip the crud off the top of the weld after.

Still a lot to learn  :)

So, I know what MIG is, I have a rough idea on what TIG is...what on Earth is arc welding and stick welding? Or are these also just different names for the same thing?  ::) ;D

Yep :y :y
