Welding is a critical skill for many industries, and at Washington Iron Works, we have a team of experienced welders who are experts in a variety of welding techniques.
In this blog post, we will discuss three of the most common welding techniques: MIG, TIG, and arc welding. We will also discuss some of the applications for each of these techniques.
MIG Welding
MIG welding, also known as gas metal arc welding, is a type of welding that uses a continuous wire electrode to create an arc. The arc melts the wire and the base metal, creating a strong weld. MIG welding is a versatile process that can be used on a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
TIG Welding
TIG welding, also known as tungsten inert gas welding, is a type of welding that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc. The arc melts the base metal, creating a strong weld. TIG welding is a more precise process than MIG welding, and it can be used to create high-quality welds on a variety of materials.
Arc Welding
Arc welding is a general term for any type of welding that uses an arc to create a weld. This includes MIG welding, TIG welding, and other types of welding. Arc welding is a versatile process that can be used on a variety of materials and in a variety of applications.
Applications
MIG, TIG, and arc welding can be used in a variety of applications, including:
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- Automotive repair
- Aerospace
- Shipbuilding
At Washington Iron Works, we have a team of experienced welders who can use all three of these welding techniques to create high-quality welds for your project.
