Three Basic Welding Processes

STICK Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
, also known as STICK Welding, is an arc welding process using a coated electrode typically applied manually. It produces a high quality weld and can be used on different types of metals of varying thicknesses with excellent uniformity. It has a wide range of applications in industry.

MIG Welding

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), also known as MIG Welding, is an arc welding process using a continuous feed filler wire and is used widely in the sheet metal industry as it is both fast and economical. A variation on this is Flux Core Arc Welding.

TIG Welding
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), also known as TIG, is an arc welding process using a nonconsumed tungsten electrode with filler wire fed manually. This process produces high quality welds, can be used on almost any metal and is used for more precise welding requirements.
