The second type of electric welding machine is the TIG type electric welding
machine or you can call it Tungsten Inner gas. The gas referred to here is better known to
people as argon gas. Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses
non-consumable tungsten electrodes to produce welds. The function of this TIG type
electric welding machine can be used to perform welding on mild steel, aluminum,
stainless steel and brass.
Advantages of TIG Welding Machine (Tungsten Inert Gas);
The welding results obtained are better and of higher quality on non-ferrous and
ferrous materials.
In the atmosphere there are various impurities that can reduce the quality of the
weld. If the welding technique is done properly, all of these impurities can be
removed
Can be used to make high quality / high quality root passes from 1 side on a variety
of materials
Disadvantages of TIG Welding Machine (Tungsten Inert Gas):
Compared to other welding processes, the fill rate of TIG / GTAW is lower
In order for welding from the 1 side to produce high quality welds, tighter joint
alignment controls are required
In order to avoid gas and porosity defects, TIG / GTAW requires better connection
cleanliness
For air speeds above 5 mph, extra care is needed to maintain inert gas protection
above the weld crater
The last type of electric welding machine is the MIG electric welding machine. MIG
electric welding machine or you can call it Metal Inner Gas, which means that this MIG
electric welding machine can weld metal (metal) using gas. The gas in question is CO2 gas
or what we both know is carbon dioxide gas. So in essence this MIG electric welding
machine is operated with the help of CO2 gas for combustion. The function of this type of
MIG electric welding machine is used on thin metal or iron plates ranging from 1 mm to
very thick thicknesses. So it is not surprising, the use of this MIG electric welding machine
is also commonly used for welding needs on the body or hull of a ship.
Advantages of MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding Machine:
o Welding using a MIG Welding Machine is faster than welding using an MMA /
SMAW welding machine and produces results that are more durable, continuous
o Does not produce slag or slag, as occurs with MMA / SMAW welding machines
o Very efficient and fast processing.
o The MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding process itself is very suitable for heavy
equipment and construction work
Disadvantages of MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding Machines:
o There may be burn back at any time
o Initial setup is a bit difficult
o Unstable arc
o Cannot be used in the open area.
