B-3 B-3 OPERATION This figure closely resembles what is actually seen ARC-WELDING CIRCUIT during welding. The “arc stream’’ is seen in the middle (See Figure B.3) of the figure. This is the electric arc created by the electric current flowing through the space between the FIGURE B.3 end of the electrode and the work. The temperature of this arc is about 6000°F (3315°C), which is more than enough to melt metal. The arc is very bright, as well as hot, and cannot be looked at with the naked eye wit
