    TYPES OF

    WELDING
    Electron Beam Welding
    This is a fusion welding process in which a beam
    of high-velocity electrons is applied to the
    materials being joined. The workpieces melt and
    flow together as the kinetic energy of the
    electrons is transformed into heat upon impact.
    It is often used in applications where a high
    integrity weld with low distortion is required (eg.
    aerospace applications).

    Gas Welding
    This is a type of welding that uses a gas flame
    (usually oxygen-acetylene) to melt the base
    material in the joint line and also to melt the
    filler rod. The molten materials mix together,
    cool, and solidify to unite the pieces of metal.
    It is commonly used for cutting or welding
    materials like pipes and tubes.

    Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)


    This is a semi-automatic or automatic arc
    welding process. FCAW requires a continuously-
    fed consumable tubular electrode containing a
    flux and a constant-voltage or, less commonly, a
    constant-current welding power supply. It’s used
    in industries that require a large number of
    welds or involves outdoor welding and is also
    useful for welding material that has some scale,
    rust, or other contaminants.

    Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)


    Also known as hand-operated metal arc
    welding, flux-shielded arc welding, or stick
    welding. The arc is struck between the metal
    rod or electrode (flux coated) and the
    workpiece, the surface of both the rod and the
    workpiece melt to create a weld pool. It’s
    commonly used in the maintenance and
    repair sector and is also used for constructing
    steel structures and in industrial fabrication.

    Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Arc Welding)


    TIG welding employs a tungsten electrode
    because tungsten has a high melting point. It is
    often used to weld together thin and non-ferrous
    materials such as aluminum, copper, lead, or
    nickel. In the automotive industry, it’s used for
    assembling components like exhaust systems,
    fuel tanks, and engine parts. In the aerospace
    industry, it’s used for joining aircraft
    components such as engine parts, aluminum
    and titanium structural members, and fuel lines.

    MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas Welding)


    MIG welding uses a thin wire as an electrode. The
    wire is fed from a spool attached to a gun
    through a flexible tube and comes out of the
    nozzle on the welding gun or torch. The wire is fed
    continuously when the trigger is pulled on the
    welding gun. It is widely used for machining
    metals. Due to its cost-effectiveness and high
    productivity, it’s used in assembly lines. It’s also
    used for railroad repair.
