Advantages:

  • Welding makes a permanent joint of materials in a single entity.
  • Welding becomes stronger when proper techniques and right filler materials are used.
  • Welding is the most economical way of joining complex shapes compared to other methods and the fabrications cost is less.
  • The process is versatile in nature.

Disadvantages:

  • As welding process is done manually, it requires high labor cost and also the process needs skilled labors.
  • Process is dangerous due to usage of high energy.
  • Difficult to disassemble as the welding joints are stronger.
