Welding is a process that entails joining two materials through the application of heat through an internal entity or an external heater or electric arc. According to many individuals, welding is all about metals. This is wrong. Materials, i.e., plastic, can also be welded together.
There are numerous welding services offered in the welding industry. Most of these services are only comprehensive to metals. Some of the methods used include Arc Welding.
What is Arc Welding?
Arc welding involves the use of an electric arc to melt materials before they are made a pair. The electric arc is introduced between the two elements through the use of an electrode. An electric arc can generate temperatures of up to 3500 degrees Celsius. This is enough temperature that can sufficiently melt metals of immense strength like carbon steel.
There are different types of Arc Welding Services, such as Flux-Cored Arch welding, Shielded Metal Arc welding, plasma Arc welding and Submerged Arc welding, among others. Arc welding is applied in construction industries, shipbuilding, mechanical industries and automotive industries.
Metal Inert Gas Welding
This is another method of welding that entails the use of an electric arc to build welds. But, when compared to arc welding Metal Inert Gas welding requires the use of a consumable electrode to put together metals.
A consumable electrode is a unique piece of metal that delivers electricity to the joint intended to be weld. The electrode melts, when brought in contact with the weld pool.
