MIG Welding
Metal Inert Gas welding - A common high deposition rate welding process where an electric arc forms between a consumable wire electrode and the workpiece metals.
TIG Welding
Tungsten Inert Gas welding - Precision welding technique that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
Plasma Arc Welding
Similar to TIG welding but uses a plasma arc to create a more focused heating area, which can make deeper welds.
Oxy-fuel Welding
A process that uses fuel gases and oxygen to weld and cut metals, suitable for repairing and fabrication.
Stick Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) - Uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld.
Flux-Cored Arc Welding
Similar to MIG welding, uses a tubular wire filled with flux and can be used with or without shielding gas.
Submerged Arc Welding
Uses a consumable electrode and a granular flux that covers the weld, providing a shield from the atmosphere.
Laser Beam Welding
Uses a laser to join pieces of metal or thermoplastics, providing high precision and speed.
Electron Beam Welding
Uses a focused beam of electrons to weld materials, allowing for strong welds in thick or thin sections.
Friction Stir Welding
A solid-state joining technique that uses a non-consumable tool to generate heat through friction, joining materials without melting them.
Gas Welding
Involves using a gas flame over the workpiece to melt metals at the join, using a filler rod.
Resistance Welding
A group of welding processes in which coalescence is produced by the heat obtained from the resistance of the work to the flow of electric current.
