The answer to your question is False, generating an electric arc between a covered metal electrode and the base metal does not describe the process of gas welding.
Welding is the word we use to describe the act of joining metals together by using intense heat to melt the desired points into one. For this process, a material known as flux is often used to assist in the fusing of metals.
Welding uses intense heat to join metals, because of this it is a potentially dangerous process and should always be performed with the proper safety precautions. The heat required for welding can come from various sources, some examples are:
Though there is a welding method that uses gases as well as an electric arc, this method requires a bare electrode. For these reasons, the statement is False.
