Shielded Metal Arc Welding Introduction Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding or manual metal arc welding, is a manual welding process that has been used for over 100 years. It is a versatile process that can be used to weld a wide range of metals, including …

Gas Metal Arc Welding Introduction Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), also known as metal inert gas (MIG) welding, is a welding process in which an electric arc is used to melt and join metal workpieces. A continuous wire electrode is fed through a welding gun, and an inert gas is …

Introduction Plasma welding is a highly advanced and precise method of welding that is used in a variety of industries for a wide range of applications. This article will provide an overview of plasma welding, including the principles of how it works, the types of plasma welding processes and their …

Arc Welding Process and its Types Arc Welding Process Arc welding is the best example of fusion welding. It uses an electric arc that generates heat reaching temperature up to 6000 degrees Fahrenheit. High temperature is involved in melting and fusing the materials. Fusion arc welding has another advantage that …

Thermit welding Process Introduction Thermit welding is a process in which a thermite mixture, composed of metal powder and a metallic oxide, is ignited and burns at a very high temperature to melt the metal and fuse two pieces of metal together. Thermit welding is different from traditional welding methods …

Arc Welding Introduction Arc welding is a method of joining two or more metal parts together by using an electric arc to heat the surfaces to be joined. The electric arc is created between an electrode and the workpiece, which melts the metal and forms a weld pool. The weld …

Magnetically Impelled Arc Butt (MIAB) Welding Introduction Magnetically impelled arc butt (MIAB) welding (also known as rotating arc welding). MIAB is a forged welding process for joining pipes and tubes with an external magnetic field affecting arc rotation along the tube circumference. Forging is a method of shaping metal through …

MIG Welding Process Introduction MIG Welding ( Metal Inert Gas Welding ), AWS American Welding Society called this welding process. Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). MIG welding is easy to learn and fun to do. As soon as you pull and hold down the trigger you are welding. You just need …
