Welding Works


 



Arc Welding: This includes various subtypes such as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). Arc welding involves creating an electric arc between an electrode and the base metal, causing them to melt and form a weld bead.


Gas Welding: Gas welding, often referred to as oxy-fuel welding, uses a mixture of oxygen and a fuel gas (e.g., acetylene) to generate a flame that melts the metals at the joint.


TIG Welding (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding - GTAW): TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create a weld. This process is known for its precision and is commonly used in applications that require high-quality welds.


MIG Welding (Gas Metal Arc Welding - GMAW): MIG welding involves feeding a continuous wire electrode through a welding gun, which melts and joins the metals while shielding the weld area with a gas.


Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding - SMAW): Stick welding uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to create a weld. The flux provides a protective shield and produces a slag that covers the weld bead.
