Basically the electrode produces a pocket of inert gas, and the metal from the electrode melts and fuses to the metal its welding to.

Random possible fact that my welding instructor gave me was the most dangerous part of underwater welding was going into the pod that brings the welders deep under water, and not the welding itself. Apparently more die during the trip down or up, than during the welding.
