Different types of welding:


August 19th, 2010

Welding is nothing but a process of joining two metals. Welding can be done through gas flame, electric arc or laser.

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding is an automatic or semi automatic process where wire is connected to a source of direct current acts as an electrode joins two pieces of metal as it passes continuously through a welding gun. One major advantage is that metal can weld quickly than traditional welding. Other advantages are – since shielding gas protects the welding arc, MIG welding produces a clean weld with very little splatter. MIG welding can be used with a wide variety of metals and alloys.

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is the process of blending together reactive metals such as magnesium and aluminum. TIG welding is commonly used for both high quality and manual welding. There are different types of joint used with TIG welding like butt joint, lap joint, corner joint and t-joint.
