SMAW ( Shielded Meatal Arc Welding )
The shielded metal arc welding
(SMAW / “Stick”) process generates an
arc between a flux-coated consumable
electrode and the work-piece. SMAW
is well known for its versatility
because it can be used in all welding
positions, and in both production and
repair welding situations. It is one of
the simplest welding processes in
terms of equipment requirements and
can be easily operated in remote
locations. However, it is strictly a
manual welding process that generally
requires a high welder skill level. In
addition, it is typically restricted to
material thickness greater than
approximately 0.062 in
GAS CUTTING
Oxy-fuel welding and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases and oxygen to weld and cut metals. Pure
oxygen, instead of air, is used to increase the flame temperature to allow localized melting of the workpiece
material. In oxy-fuel welding, a welding torch is used to weld metals. Welding metal results when two pieces are
heated to a temperature that produces a shared pool of molten metal. In oxy-fuel cutting, a torch is used to heat
metal to its kindling temperature. A stream of oxygen is then trained on the metal, buring it into a metal oxide
that flows out of the slag. Torches that do not mix fuel with oxygen (combining, instead, atmospheric air) are not
considered oxy-fuel torches and can typically be identified by a single tank (oxy-fuel cutting requires two isolated
supplies, fuel and oxygen). Most metals cannot be melted with a single-tank torch. Consequently, single-tank
torches are typically suitable for soldering and brazing but not for welding.
TIG WELDING ( Tungstan Inert Gas Welding )

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert


gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a non-
consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area and
electrode is protected from oxidation or other atmospheric
contamination by an inert shielding gas (argon or helium), and a filler
metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous
welds, do not require it.
