Welding is one of the fundamental techniques in metalworking and is used for a variety of applications, from the manufacture of automotive parts to the manufacture of ships. However, there are different welding processes, each with different properties and applications. When you start welding, it is important to know which welding process best suits your needs. In this blog post we will provide an overview of the most common welding processes and help you choose the right welding process for your needs.
-
MIG Welding: MIG welding is one of the most commonly used welding techniques, popular for its simplicity and ability to weld large amounts of material quickly. MIG welding uses a wire feeder fed through a welding gun and an inert gas to protect the weld from oxygen.
-
TIG welding: TIG welding is one of the most demanding welding techniques, but it offers very high quality and precision. TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and a flow of inert gas to protect the weld. This technique is ideal for thin metals and demanding applications such as the manufacture of aircraft parts or medical devices.

Arc Welding: Arc welding is another common welding technique that is widely used in the industry. There are two types of arc welding: electrode welding and gas-shielded metal arc welding (MAG welding). Both use an arc to melt and join the material being welded.
-
Arc Welding: Arc welding uses an electrode rod connected to a power connector. The electrode is inserted into the material to be welded and melts at high temperatures, bonding the materials together.
-
Plasma Welding: Plasma welding uses a plasma jet to melt and join the material. Plasma welding offers very high levels of precision and control and is commonly used to manufacture precision parts such as turbines and blades.
When deciding on a welding process, you should consider what materials you want to weld, what kind of precision and quality you need, what your experience is, and what your application needs are. For example, if you want to weld thinner materials, TIG welding is a better choice than MIG welding. If you are welding large amounts of material
