Welding is a process of joining two materials, especially thermoplastic and metals. It is also known as a fabrication process and is done by melting the materials and adding fillers which cools to become a strong joint. For every particular welding works there is a different welding process involved. Welding process is utilized around the globe; from big industrial construction such as bridges, to small requirements as fixing a window, all is covered under welding. However, welding process depends on various factors involved such as materials involved, temperature involved, place of the welding (underwater or on surface) and many other factors. There are three major types of welding process TIG – Gas tungsten arc welding, SAW – Submerged arc welding, Submerged arc welded tubular and MIG – Metal inert gas welding. All the welding processes have their own unique purposes and advantages. Below is the brief description on all three: TIG Welding – Gas tungsten arc welding is commonly known as TIG welding. TIG is a process in which the joining of metals is carried by generating heating arc between tungsten (non-consumable) electrode and the working surface. MIG Welding – MIG welding is abbreviated as metal inert gas welding. It is a welding process which works as one of the two subtypes of gas metal arc welding. MIG is a semi-automatic arc welding process wherein a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun. SAW Welding – SAW, also known as submerged arc welding is a welding process in which the metals are joined by heat produced by arc between the bare metal electrode and the working surface. In SAW welding process, the pressure is not used and the arc is protected by the shield of granular fusible material on the work. Apart from TIG, MIG and SAW welding there are few other welding processes as well. It includes, oxy fuel welding, metal active gas welding, aluminum welding etc. However, as discussed earlier every welding process has their unique advantages and uses. All are used to meet the requirement of different welding structures. About the Author
