Lichtbogenschweissen
Explanation:
auch Elektroschweissen. Nun hab ich hier einen Nordamerikaner sitzen, der gelernter Schweisser ist, aber der weiss auch nicht, was das "broken" da soll. Hoffe, es hilft Dir trotzdem.

wie Karlo: Lichtbogenschweissen


Explanation:

Die Zündung des Lichtbogens erfolgt durch Kurzschliessen von Werkstück und Elektrode, und dieser Kurzschluss wird als "broken arc" /short circuit bezeichnet

MIG-Schweißen mit diskontiuierlichen Metallauftrag


Explanation:
Der Link von Johanna führte zu folgender Erklärung:

SMAW SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding or Stick Electrode

SMAW is an electric arc welding process in which heat for welding is generated by an electric arc between a covered metal electrode & the base metal. The electrode coating provides shielding. The welding equipment for this process is currently the most inexpensive of the methods described here. However, electrodes do create some inefficiency, such as stub loss & a slag coating, which must be removed.

GTAW GTAW - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding-Tig Welding

Tig Welding is easily performed on a variety of metals. It generally requires little or no post weld finishing. It is an electric welding process in which heat for welding is generated by an electric arc between the end of a non-consumable tungsten electrode & the base metal. Filler metal may be added, if necessary. An inert shielding gas supplies shielding for the arc. (Inert gas creates a protective atmosphere around the welding in process).

GMAW GMAW - Gas Metal Arc Welding-Mig Welding

Gas metal arc welding is quick & easy on thin-gauge metal as well as heavy plate. It generally calls for little post weld cleanup. GMAW is an electric arc welding process where heat is produced by an arc between a continuously fed filler metal electrode & the base metal. Shielding is obtained from an externally supplied gas or gas mixture. The two most common types of GMAW are:

Short Circuit Transfer - The arc is broken or short circuited with each drop of metal & restarted. Short circuiting transfer is not used with aluminum welding.

Spray Transfer - Metal is transferred across the arc creating a continuous spray of fine droplets of metal. These droplets are projected down to the base metal.

Demnach handelt es sich um ein MIG-Schweißverfahren (Metall-Inert-Gas), bei dem das Schweisgut tröpfchenweise aufgetragen wird.
