What is Welding?
Welding is a widely used fabrication method that joins two metals using heat, pressure, or a combination of both. Once the welded part cools down, a strong bond holds the two pieces together. This process is used in many industries for various applications, including fabricating sheet metal parts and more.
The parent material is the parts that will be joined, while the filler or consumable is the material used to join or fuse the parent materials. Most of the time, consumables with the same composition as the parent material are used. Sometimes, different consumables with different compositions are used for special cases, such as brittle cast irons.
Types of Welding Available
Different types of welding are used due to their varying techniques and applications. These types are as follows:
- Stick welding: Also known as Shielded Metal, this process is the most affordable option and employs rods or sticks. The stick is composed of consumables and flux. Flux enables the welding process while protecting the weld.
- MIG welding: Also referred to as Gas Metal, this process utilizes a welding gun where an electrode wire passes. It produces an electric arc, creating the heat required for welding. A shielding gas is created during the process, which protects the weld. It’s an efficient and easy technique used in numerous industries.
- TIG welding: Its full name is Tungsten Inert Gas Welding, and it uses a non-consumable electrode comprising tungsten to produce the arc. It creates cleaner, smoother, and superior results, making it the most popular type of welding.
- Robotic Welding: This type is specially designed for welding large batches of items. It uses a robotic arm, which works with the help of an automated system, to weld parts and components together easily and efficiently. This process is particularly beneficial for saving time and money.
- Laser Welding: Laser welding uses a laser beam to create the required heat, providing greater accuracy. It can be used for thin materials and is also effective on heavy metals. It is often used in the medical, aerospace, and automotive industries.
Choosing the proper process will ensure quality products with more robust fused parts. We combine MIG and TIG welding to manufacture quality results, especially for specialized parts that require higher tension and stress.
Common Applications of Welding
Welding is used in a wide range of sectors for various applications. It can be used to create metal components and other structures. Additionally, it’s also used for repairing equipment or reconstructing obsolete parts.
Other applications are as follows:
- Aerospace and automotive industries
- Sheet metal fabrication
- Construction industries
- Auto body repairs
- Joining ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Industrial piping
- Springs and wire forms
