Description

• A clean weld is not the first thing that catches
  the eye when one looks at a picture of the Golden
  Gate bridge. Like we mentioned in our blog, The
  importance of the welding industry, if you see
  more than one block of metal in an object, small
  or ginormous, it can be, and has, been welded.
• In case you had any doubts, welding is not just
  the best way of joining two metals, it is also
  the only way to make the two different parts to
  act as a single piece of metal. But within
  welding, there are many types of processes. In
  this blog, we will explain some of the most
  common ways of welding.

MIG Welding

• Metal Inert Gas or MIG welding is one of the
  easiest kinds of welding. It is one of the first
  welding that a beginner approaches and masters.
  It is also called GMAW or Gas Metal Arc welding
  as it is a type of arc welding. This is widely
  used across industries.
• Lets now talk about how it occurs and what
  welding material is required. The process
  involves the metal pieces that need to be welded,
  between which a solid wire is heated, ultimately
  welding the two materials as one.
• Alloys and metals like stainless steel, aluminium
  and other such metals in thinner sheets are ideal
  for MIG welding.

SMAW welding

• Stick welding or Shielded Metal Arc Welding
  (SMAW) is a basic type of welding. It is also
  referred to as Manual Metal Arc Welding or MMAW
  or flux shielded arc welding among its other,
  more common names. This welding process is
  considered as a traditional form of welding.
• SMAW welding is done by using a metal filler
  electrode, also called a stick. It is put between
  the two materials which need to be welded and is
  molten by passing electricity through it. As
  opposed to MIG welding, SMAW welding is slightly
  easy to ace.
• It completes the basic needs of welding or home
  welding needs, small repairs while it has also
  shown high efficiency in manufacturing and
  construction works. The materials commonly welded
  through shielded metal arc welding are carbon
  steel, cast iron, low as well as high alloy
  steel. Other materials on which it is seldom used
  are nickel, copper and its alloys.

5
TIG Welding

• Tungsten Inert Gas welding or TIG welding is an
  arc welding technique. It is also known as Gas
  Tungsten Arc Welding or GTAW. It is applicable to
  a wide variety of fields, but works wonderfully
  for industrial purposes. Since it is more
  advanced form other welding and thus, requires a
  higher level of expertise.
• The process of TIG or Tungsten Inert Gas welding
  is more complex than others. It uses welding
  wire. A TIG torch is required that heats the
  electrode to create an arc and ultimately weld.
• It can be used for a bunch of metals, including
  low alloy steels, mild steels, stainless steel,
  nickel and its alloys, etc!

• Plasma Arc Welding
• Plasma Arc Welding is somewhat similar to TIG
  welding. It is also a type of arc welding. It is
  used in much more large-scale applications as
  compared to the above mentioned types of welding.
  The major difference between PAW and TIG is that
  instead of tungsten, ionizing gases create heat
  to create the arc which finally creates the weld.
  It has engine blade applications as well as
  aero-space ones, which makes Plasma Arc Welding,
  probably cooler than the other types of welding.
• Laser Beam Welding
• This kind of welding does not have a lot of
  restrictions or controlled conditions. These
  welds are created by using a laser. It joins two
  pieces of metal as the beam provides consistent
  and concentrated heat. Laser beam welding is
  commonly used in heavy-duty welds and industrial
  work like auto-mobile manufacturing.
• With this, we come to an end to types of welding
  their various applications and uses. Found this
