'''Arc welding''' is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current and consumable or non-consumable electrodes. The welding region is sometimes protected by some type of inert or semi-inert gas, known as a shielding gas and/or an evaporating filler material. The process of arc welding is widely used because of its low capital and running costs.


There were several arc welders on board the [[refit station]] ''[[UNSC Cradle|Cradle]]'' when it performed makeshift repairs to the {{UNSCShip|Iroquois}}<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', Chapter 18</ref> and some were used by the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] to repair the damage to the captured [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[flagship]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' during a battle in [[slipstream space|slipspace]],<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 221''</ref> and some time later by the [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Insurrectionist]] technicians at [[Eridanus Secundus]] when repairing the ''Ascendant Justice'' and the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}}''.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 275''</ref>

In Halo canon, it is assumed that the Arc welder is used for roughly the same purposes since its introduction in the late 1800's, which is quite simply welding two pieces of ferrous metal together using an alternating current.
