All depends on the material and the work or use of the piece.

They are essentially both the same; an arc is an Arc. In arc welding you use a sustained and controlled arc to create a molten pool Between the parent metal and the welding electrode, as this solidifies they become one. An electric arc, say in a motor switching device is undesirable but unavoidable; device such as this have arc chutes to contain the arc when the contactor is opened, this is much the same as pulled the electrode away from the work piece when arc welding. In some applications they use high pressure air to break the arc as the contactor opens.

Are you referring to mig welding or 'stick' welding or 'sub' arc welding, 'tig' welding? They are all very good systems even gas welding! except it's so slow in an industrial environment. I would say that 'mig' welding with an inert gas, is the fastest way for industrial applications over other methods. Hope this helps.
