Different Types Of Welding Processes
MIG Welding (GMAW):
Also known as gas metal arc welding, MIG welding uses a thin wire electrode fed from a spool or drum. The wire melts to create the weld joint. This process is widely used for its simplicity and versatility in various applications.
TIG Welding (GTAW):
Tungsten inert gas arc welding employs a tungsten electrode with a high melting point. The electrode remains non-consumable during welding. This process is ideal for precise, high-quality welds on materials like stainless steel, low alloy steel and aluminum.
Stick Welding (SMAW):
Also called shielded metal arc welding, stick welding involves an electrode (flux-coated metal rod) that melts to create a weld pool. This is the most traditional and commonly used process for repairs and outdoor work.
Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW):
FCAW uses a tubular wire filled with flux. It combines features of MIG and stick welding. This process is better suitable for welding of thicker materials in comparison to MIG welding.
Remember, the choice of welding process depends on factors like material type, thickness, and specific project requirements.
