Selection of Welding Process WRT Material

The document provides a table that outlines the suitability of various welding processes for different materials and thicknesses. It shows that shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), plasma arc welding (PAW), electroslag welding (ESW), oxyfuel welding (OFW), electron beam welding (EBW), and laser beam welding (LBW) can all be used for carbon steels, low alloy steels, stainless steels, cast irons, nickel and other alloys, and aluminum and other alloys, depending on the material thickness. The table acts as
