Welding Processes
LOWEST HEAT EMITTED TiC
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is an arc continuous solid wire electrode heated a welding gun. MIG workers operate w gloves used in this application need to should also be lined, with a back patch or cowhide leather to protect from mid MID TO HIGH HEAT EMITTED MIC
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is an arc welding process that produces a weld with a non-consumable tungsten electrode. It requires a high level of detail and precision for beading. Gloves used in this application need great dexterity, are unlined as less heat is emitted and are often made from deer or goatskin leather.
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS
The TIG welding technique is commonplace in many industries including: manufacturing, aerospace, bicycles, automobiles, and thin, delicate workpieces. It’s especially ideal for nonferrous thin/lightweight metals and produces a clean, smooth weld. Suitable metals include: nickel alloys, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, alloy steel, and magnesium.
The MIG welding technique is the most common
Sheet metal welding, home improvement, autom vessels and steel structures, heavy construction of pipelines.
TIG welding is great for welding thinner metals (up to 5mm) because the process doesn't reach high temperatures and won't burn through like Stick will.
MIG welding is great for welding various thick m carbon steel, and stainless steel.
This welding technique produces a high-quality weld because it allows the welder greater control over the surface area. TIG is much slower since welders cannot move the weld pool and cannot supply ller rods as quickly as they can in MIG welding. Also, it requires a high level of detail, which can slow the process down.
