Wonders Of Welding

 Personally I believe that welding is a very a great trade for a individual to learn. Welding has been around for almost three centuries. The creator of welding is Edmund Davy. 

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas)- A non-consumable tungsten electrode is used in this type of welding process. You take the electrode and make a molten puddle and bond the two pieces together. In this type of welding you have the heated gas shield which will create a molten puddle to combine the two pieces of metal. This welding needs a welder with expertise so there is no excessive clean up.  

                                                                                                            

  Arc Welding or SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding)-This is known commonly as Stick welding. The most basic welding process. The way this works is you have a filler rod which is the type of metal you are trying to connect. Than an electric current melts the filler rod which then creates a puddle that you push to make a line to connect the pieces of metal. This is generally used for steel structures or fabrication methods. 

  MIG (Metal Inert Gas)-This is when you connect two pieces of metal by using a wire connected to an electrode current. There is a shielded gas around the electrode. This shield then heats up the two pieces of metal to combine with each other. A constant voltage and direct current power source is required for this method. This method is the most common for industrial welding process.
