GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING
The tip of the tungsten electrode has to be hot in GTAW because you are trying to weld two pieces of metal together, and that takes a lot of heat.
The main difference between these two types of welding is that GTAW uses gases to create the weld whilst SMAW uses an an electrical current. Both are very popular welding processes.
CO2 is an oxygen compound or a non-inert gas,the purpose of a shielding gas is to shield the weld and the electrode from oxygen. argon, nitrogen and helium are the most common gases used for GTAW
I'm pretty sure it stands for Gas-Tungsten Arc Welding.

GTAW is the Gas-Tungsten Arc Welding process A defect means something's wrong with the weld. There are hundreds of kinds, and every kind of defect has a different cause--and sometimes there are seven or eight causes for one defect.
GTAW is commonly used to weld thin slections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals luike aluminum, magnesium and copper alloys. The gas shield is never removed to prevent oxidation of its surface and contamination of the weld.

The purpose of shielding gas in GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) is to protect the weld pool from contaminants in the atmosphere, such as oxygen and nitrogen, that can negatively impact the quality of the weld. The gas creates a protective barrier around the molten metal, preventing oxidation and ensuring a clean, strong weld.

Choosing one of the six commonly available tungsten electrodes is a crucial first step in successful gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).
