The stick; it creates a shielding gas during the welding operation

There is no shielding gas

The filler rod fed into the melt pool

Question 7*

The filler material for MIG welding comes from:

The operator feeding a filler rod into the melt pool

The machine is set to the appropriate current source (DCEN or AC)
