Welding Technology: A Valuable Technology for Industry Welding is the process by which two pieces of metal can be joined together. The procedure of welding doesn't simply bond the two pieces of metal together as in brazing and soldering, but, through the make use of excessive heat and sometimes the adding other metals or gases, causes the metallic structures of the two pieces to bond together and become one. There are different welding techniques, including spot welding, MIG, and TIG, which are types of curve welding, arc welding, and gas welding, to give some examples. Welding is technology which can be done underwater.

TIG Welding TIG stands for Tungsten inert gas, what it is an arc welding method that utilized a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to generate the weld. The weld region is protecting from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas because it is harmful for atmosphere. TIG welding produces remarkably clean, high quality welds. As no other wastage is delivered, the shot of slag considerations in the weld metal is evacuated and the completed weld requires no cleaning. TIG welding may be used for welding almost all metals and it is operated by manual and also automatic operation. TIG welding is most widely used for welding aluminum and stainless steel alloys where weld integrity is most importance. It is generally used for high quality joints in the nuclear industry, chemical companies, aircraft sector and food industries.


MIG Welding MIG welding, or MIG, is stand for "Metal Inert Gas" which is known as "Gas Metal Arc Welding" or "GMAW". The gases used in industry in high quantity, so the name has been changed to "Gas Metal Arc Welding". It is also famous as "Wire Wheel Welding". This method done by wire feed to feed solid filler wire to the weld joint. The wire feed is joined to a constant voltage power supply that produces the arc to melt the wire when it hits the weld joint. Before the wire produce an arc there must to be a shielding gas removed through the system. MIG welding is done by MIG gun that combines the wire, power supply and gasses all at simultaneously. The MIG gun has a fire that, once squeezed, starts the process of metal joining. This process is considered semi-automatic because it needs at least one man power. This metal joining process is usually used in factories where production is high. Advantage of MIG welding is easy to operate but setting up the equipment can be harder for less experienced operator.


ARC Welding Arc welding is consider as the most easily and readily accessible welding process on the earth. Most of the welders or workers are choose to use this method of arc or stick welding. ARC Welding technique in which economical apparatus are used and a steady flow of A.C or D.C is mandatory with constant energy. Fusion is generated by an electric arc that is joined with the base material as well as the electrode and metal is melted while joining. Shielding gas appears after the job and the work is made quickly. In this process the percentage of heat absorption is very high, so the chance of distortion is very less.
