The Basic Guide To The Many Welding Styles And Processes
Welding is one of the earliest forms of tool construction, done without many favourable approaches in the past, but as time went by, we progressed, enhancing many styles and techniques. It already has a variety of styles, the most popular of which are: 1) Gas Metal Arc Welding: It is abbreviated as GMAC or MIG as it is also referred to as Metal inert gas. This technique has electrodes made up of thin wires, its working process includes heating up of wire when fed in a welding instrument and brought to the welding site. To protect the weld from dust and particles present in the air shielding gas is used. Carbon dioxide, Oxygen, Argon, or Helium is used as shielding gas. This style is mostly used in the construction and automotive industries. 2) Shielded Metal Arc Welding: It is abbreviated as SMAW. It is also known as stick welding, it
