• Plate Bending Machine • Hydraulic Press • Gas Cutter • TIG Welding Set • Plasma Cutting Machine 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.
