What does GMAW stand for?

  1. Gas Metal Arc Welding

  2. Gasoline Metal Arc Welding

  3. General Metal Arc Welding

  4. Ground Metal Arc Welding

The correct answer is: Gas Metal Arc Welding

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a welding process that uses a continuously fed solid wire electrode and a shielding gas to melt and join two pieces of metal together. The other options - Gasoline Metal Arc Welding, General Metal Arc Welding, and Ground Metal Arc Welding - are not correct because they either contain incorrect terminology (gasoline instead of gas) or are not actual welding processes. Gas Metal Arc Welding is the only option that accurately represents the welding process using a shielding gas and metal wire electrode.
