WHAT IS WELDING?
Welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts
are fused together by means of heat, pressure or both
forming a join as the parts cool. Welding is usually used on
metals and thermoplastics but can also be used on wood.
The completed welded joint may be referred to as a
weldment.

Types of Welding

1. TIG – Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)

The first type of welding is TIG welding, which also goes by
the names of Heliarc and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).
With this type of welding, the electrode is non-consumable
and made of tungsten. It is one of the few types of welding
that can be done with no filler metal, using only the two
metals being welded together

TIG WELDING APPLICATIONS

TIG welding plays a vital role in the automotive industry,
where the process is effective at bonding metal parts
together for the construction of cars, vans, trucks and SUVs.
The tungsten electrodes work well in the factories where
workers assemble engine parts from individual pieces of
metal, as well as in the plants where auto-body parts get
prepared for the assembly lines.
TIG welding is also essential in the construction industry,
where the equipment gets transported to worksites and
used in the preparation of parts for buildings and public
monuments. Many of the buildings you see along the
streets and thoroughfares of your community have been
the work of construction crews that rely heavily on TIG
welding

2. Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

This type of welding is similar to MIG welding. In fact, MIG
welders can often perform double duty as a FCAW welder
as well. Just like in MIG welding, a wire that serves as the
electrode and the filler metal is fed through your wand

3. Stick – Shielded-Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)

This process of welding started in the 1930s but continues

to be updated and improved today. It has remained a
popular type of welding because it is simple and easy to
learn, as well as low cost to operate.
A replaceable electrode “stick” also serves the role of filler
metal. An arc is created that connects from the end of the
stick to the base metals, melting the electrode into filler
metal and creating the weld. The stick is coated in flux that
creates a gas cloud when heated up and protects the metal
from oxidation. As it cools, the gas settles on the metal and
becomes slag.

STICK WELDING APPLICATIONS

Stick welding can help workers complete tasks large and
small in virtually any location. For outbound applications,
the process is convenient because the equipment required
is portable and easy to transport for on-call repair tasks.
Therefore, stick welding often comes into play in otherwise
hard-to-reach locations and remote public buildings.

4. Plasma Arc Welding

Plasma arc welding is similar to GTAW, but it uses a smaller

arc, increasing the precision of the weld. It also uses a
different torch, achieving much higher temperatures. Gas is
pressurized inside the wand, creating plasma. The plasma is
then ionized, making it electrically conductive. This allows
the arc to be created, producing incredibly high
temperatures that can melt the base metals. This allows
plasma arc welding to be performed with no filler metal,
another similarity to TIG welding
