Get powerful welding performance with right welding supplies

Welding is a process of joining two metal pieces firmly to each other and the metals form a strong and durable bond. There are various types of welding that you can use to join the metals depending on the metal used and the type of joint want.

Commonly used welding types include:

·         Metal inert gas (MIG) welding

·         Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding

·         Arc welding

·         Stick welding

·         Gas welding

Some of these techniques are mentioned in detail:

Stick welding

Also, known as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), it is the oldest and the easiest welding technique. Stick welding is very commonly used and can be easily done at home also for small DIY projects. The stick welding requires a stronger electric current to help produce the arc during the process. This welding is rather effective due to the steel rods that are used. These rods are coated in a flux material that vaporizes into CO2 gas which creates a protective barrier around the weld pool.

MIG welding

Metal inert gas (MIG) also known as the gas metal inert gas (GMAW) welding is the process in which the electrode is continuously fed through a welding gun. Also, there is a continuous flow of an inert shielding gas that protects the weld from atmospheric contaminants. MIG welders are great for welding automotive service equipment and can be used by hobbyist as well. This is because it uses a lower level of heat which creates less metal distortion that is often common with soft metals such as aluminum and sheet metal. The most commonly used gas in MIG welding is carbon dioxide.

TIG welding

TIG stands for tungsten inert gas welding and is considered as one of the most difficult form of welding techniques to learn. It is hard to master in comparison to MIG or stick welding. For welding using this process, the welding professional has to involve his both hands. With one hand, a torch with a tungsten electrode is held and the other hand feeds the rod. It is an extremely versatile process and most of the metals can be easily welded using this process. For example, it can weld stainless steel, aluminum, carbon and low alloy steels, nickel alloys, cobalt, titanium, magnesium and copper alloys etc.
