Welding - New technique of combine metals


February 7th, 2010

Welding is referred to joining of two pieces of metal. This can be done by melting iron pieces and add filler material let it cool which make it harder. Welding can be done in air, water and outer space.

Types: Arc, metal inert gas, tungsten inert gas welding.

Arc Welding: It is like welding process using electric arc between two pieces and electrode. The electrode either is a rod or wire. There are five common types of arc welding method. They are shielded metal which is using for metals, gas metal, flux core, gas tungsten and submerged arc welding which is using for steel plate.

Metal Inert Gas: Metal inert gas also called as gas metal arc welding. This process is easiest among all. It is automatic or partially automatic process, where the wires are connected to direct current act as electrode to join the work pieces of metal. It has the ability to combine the non-ferrous metal. Two types of MIG are conventional and pulsed MIG. Conventional MIG uses direct current power and pulsed MIG uses alternative current power.

Tungsten Inert Gas: It is also called as gas tungsten arc welding. Here the types of gas used for welding are argon and helium. The advantages of these two gases are speed and easily perforate. Using TIG welding you make joints like corner, lap, butt and t-joint. Corner joins the two corner pieces of metals. Lap joins the top and bottom piece. T-joint is used to join the parallel piece of metal to perpendicular metal.
