General information about welding & cutting

Cutting

In oxcy-fuel cutting, a torch is used to heat metal to its kindling temperature. A stream of oxygen is then trained on the metal, burning it into a metal oxide that flows out of the kerf.

ARC Welding

ARC welding is a process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals when cool result in a a binding of the metals. It is a type of welding that usesw a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. Arc welding processes may be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated. First developed in the late part of the 19th century, arc welding became important in shipbuilding during the Second World War. Today it remains an important process for the fabrication of steel structures and vehicles

Tig Welding

The difference between TIG welding and MIG welding is that one process uses a a continuously feeding wire (MIG) and the other you use long welding rods and slowly feed them into the welding puddle (TIG). MIG and TIG welding both use an electric arc to make the weld. MIG welding isa very simple and easy process to learn compared to learning how to TIG weld. The technical names for these are metal inert gas (MIG), and Tiungsten Inert Gas (TIG).

Gas Welding

Oxcy-fuel also called oxcyacetelene welding or gas welding are processes that fuel gases and oxygen to weld and cut metal. Oxcy-fuel welding is one of the oldest welding processes. In recent decades it has become less and less in almost all industrial areas due to various welding methods offering more consistent mechanical weld properties and faster application. Gas welding is still used for metal-based artwork and in smaller home-based shops, as well as situations where accessing electricity would present difficulties. 

In oxcy-fuel welding , a welding torch is used to weld metals. Welding metal resusts when two pieces are heated to a temperature that produces a shared pool of molten metal. The molten pool is generally supplied with additional metal called filler. Filler material depends upon the metals to be welded.
