The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process, more commonly known as TIG welding, is a manual welding process that uses tungsten inert gas (TIG) to protect the weld from oxidization and contamination. A TIG welder uses either a continuous or pulsed arc to fuse metals. This process is often preferred by welders because of its…
What is MIG Welding and how does it work? MIG Welding or Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is a relatively new type of welding technology. MIG welding was developed in the 1960’s by General Electric Company. Since then, this method of welding has gained popularity due to its ability to produce high-strength, defect free welds…
Fusing Metal – welding is the process in which two pieces of metal are fused together using heat and or pressure. Welding is therefore a fabrication process that is a crucial part of the manufacturing operations and, as with any manufacturing processes, the welding procedure used to fabricate a part or structure is dependent on…
