What do we call the molten metal part that is actively being welded?

Bead
Electrode
Puddle
Slag

The correct answer is: Puddle

A Bead is a term that refers to the finished 'string' formed by the welding process, not the molten metal actively being welded. B: The electrode is the part of the welding machine that conducts the electricity needed to create an arc, not the molten metal being welded. D: Slag is the residue left behind after the welding process, not the molten metal that is actively being welded. So the most accurate answer is 'C' because a 'puddle' is the molten metal being actively welded.
