Three Basic Welding Methods

Decent Essays

Welders could improve their careers if they had more knowledge regarding the three basic welding methods. How could they improve their career? The three basic welding methods are TIG(Tungsten Inert Gas.) MIG(Metal Inert Gas.) And SMAW(Shielded Metal Arc Welding.) If the welder had more knowledge about the welding methods, then they could figure out which of the three can produce the most welds in a certain amount of time. TIG welding is the best, and most efficient because it can deliver more welds in a day, and reduces the cost of sales.
The welding trade has new TIG welding machines which has improved TIG welding fabrication. So, how has the advantages of TIG welding improved the trade? With these new machines there is an extended balance control. The balance control narrows the weld bead, but also creates greater penetration for thicker sections of the weld. There is a decreasing frequency which produces a broader arc core. The new machines provide a true pulse which means it will allow the welder to alter the amount of heat applied, and also can control the decreased amount of heat. The tungsten is pointed, creating a finer weld. The layout for the machines is more simple and easier to use. These new and lighter duty machines feature a fixed balance control set for more penetration than cleaning. All these new machines mean that the welder can produce better and more efficient and reliable welds in one work day.
