Electrogas Welding (EGW)
Uses a continuous consumable electrode, either flux-cored wire or bare wire with externally
supplied shielding gases, and molding shoes to contain molten metal
• When flux-cored electrode wire is used and no external gases are supplied, then special
case of self-shielded FCAW
• When a bare electrode wire used with shielding gases from external source, then special
case of GMAW
