Characteristics of some welding and cutting methods
MMA welding with coated electrode
• is universal method of welding
• is user friendly when welding rough and dirty materials
• no special preparations are needed
• suitable for welding and fixing strong constructions
MIG/MAG welding with shielding gas
• is very productive and economical welding
• mostly used method in industry
• universal method of welding ehich enables welding of different thin and thick materials
• MAG procedure (shielding with active gas) is used for welding all kind of construction steels
• MIG procedure (shielding with inert gas) is used for welding stainless steel, aluminium and precious metals
• by welding, the weld stays clean with no spatter, so extra cleaning is not necessary
• advantage of pulse welding is completely controlled arc and consequently high quality of weld
• pulse welding method is specially suitable for welding thin metal sheets
WELDING method with flux cored wire
• very productive and economical welding method
• suitable especially by welding in open spaces
• universal method of welding stainless steel, costructione steel and repairs
• very high welding quality is achieved when adding shielding gas
TIG-DC welding with Wolframe electrode
• direct current
• suitable method for all metals except of aluminium and magnesium
• very high quality of welds
• used by most demanding welds
• welder should have some more experience, pieces should be carefully prepared
TIG-AC welding with Wolframe electrode
• alternate current
• suitable for aluminium welding, aluminium alloys and magnesium, enables high quality welds
• demands precise preparations and skilled welders
TIG pulse welding
• special procedure by AC and DC TIG welding, suitable for highest quality welds
• power input is controlled
• suitable for welding the thinnest metal sheets
• final weld surface is very estetic
Brasing (method with C electrode)
• used for removing unregular materials or for repairing previous welding
• for preparation before robotic welding for example
• reparing unregular surface on materials
Plasma cutting
• suitable for cutting all kinds of metals
• narrow and precise cut
