In arc welding the electrode (welding rod) is held just a little space away from the workpiece and electric current jumps from the electrode to the work piece carrying material from the rod with it. This material is deposited at the weld site mixed with molten metal from the workpiece. The jumping current is referred to as the arc. You can see it if you are wearing welding glasses with the proper dark lens. Looking at the arc without eye protection will often result in a splitting headache later and, if done recklessly and too long, permanent eye damage can result---in other words, blindness.
