Welding is a process of joining different kinds of materials together.
Common Types of Welding are:
- Arc welding or stick welding
- Gas welding
- Wire feed welding
- TIG welding
- Spot welding
Among all the above mentioned forms of welding, one of the most widely used one is arc welding. The technically sound people refer to it as MMAW or SMAW which are the short abbreviations of manual or shield metal arc welding cable. In this case, electrodes are used that are a maximum of one foot long and remains covered with a flux. At the point of burning the flux a gas is emitted out that acts to protect the weld.
Next one is MIG welding. The exact term goes like this…gas metal arc welding. In this process, a trigger is squeezed in the presence of a torch or a fire gun. The wide that is present inside the torch starts to come out when pressure is applied on the trigger.
For achieving a very delicate technique TIG is one of the types of welding which is generally used by TIG welders. This prompts you to hold the torch in one of your hands and the filler rod on the other. The rod needs to be slowly fed in to achieve the desired effect. The two bits can also be made to melt at the same time; this process is referred to as fusing.
The last in the list is the spot welding and is generally used for the purpose of fabricating metal sheets. In this case, the electrode consists of both the pieces of metal which are generally placed at the arms of the device. It is basically the fastest among all.
Some other options are friction, thermite, sub arc and ultrasonic. Most Perth welding shops are experts in all types of welding and can complete any welding project. So select the best one from the available types of welding suitable to meet your needs.
