Types of Metal Welding Services
1. Arc Welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding)
- Fuses metals using electric current.
- Recommended for construction, pipelines, and heavy equipment repairs.
- Very affordable and common across all industrial applications.
2. MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas Welding)
- Employs a continuous wire electrode that allows for fast welding.
- Ideal for automobile manufacturing, structural welding, and heavy machinery.
- Provides a clean weld with minimal slag and a strong finish.
3. TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas Welding)
- Employs a non-consumable tungsten electrode for high-precision welding.
- Appropriate for stainless steel, aluminium, and thin metal sheets.
- Results in high-quality clean welds with added finish.
4. Spot Welding
- Joins thin sheets of metal by use of electric resistance heating.
- Very well suited for automobile assembly, electronic component assembly, and computer sheet metal fabrication.
- An extremely fast and efficient technique for mass production industries.
5. Laser Welding
- Uses a high-power laser beam to precisely fuse metals.
- Ideal for medical devices, jewellery, and any industry that requires high precision.
- Resulting welds are high strength with minimal distortion.
6. Plasma Arc Welding
- Uses a plasma arc to penetrate and weld with high speed.
- Well suited for aerospace, shipbuilding, and any precision manufacturing.
- Welds that are very smooth and defect-free are delivered.
7. Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
- A technique using a wire electrode filled with flux allowing rapid welding.
- Best for outdoor and heavy-duty applications such as bridges and pipelines.
- Excellent for welding thick metals as penetration is strong.
8. Gas Welding (also known as Oxy-Acetylene Welding)
- Integrates oxygen with acetylene gas for the fusion of metals.
- Best suited for the maintenance of thin metal sheeting, pipelines, and automobile bodywork.
- Enables control of temperature and smooth welds, facilitating accurate working.
