All about Welding Industries :

Introduction:

Welding industries developed well in the 19th century and in 1907 two welders came to

us and patented a metal arc welding method. In 1923 institute of welding engineers

was formed in New York City and in 1924 welded steel buildings were constructed in us.

During the year 1928, in Pennsylvania welded rail Road Bridge was erected and in 1939

stud welding was used by the navy for the fabrication of ship and aircraft carriers. This

is the period where welding was in peak and after that many new processes and

advanced welding equipment were introduced. Let us see briefly about the welding

industries and welding technology.

Welding tools and welders are the backbone to welding industries and welder

machines is a device with moving parts and used to perform a welding task. The

industry needs proper welding equipment, welding supply, welding accessories and it

should be equipped with latest welding technology.

Different types of welding:

Know that there are different types of welding and each type is used to weld different

types of metals. Arc welding is a process that uses the power supply to create electric

arc and weld the metal at its welding point. In arc welding two methods are there such

as consumable electrode method and non consumable electrode method. Shielded

metal arc welding, flux cored arc, gas metal arc and submerged arc welding uses the

consumable electrodes and tig welding is a non consumable electrode method that uses

the welding electrode called tungsten electrode.

Different types of welders:

A welder is a machine or equipment that the welder uses to make the weld and there

are different types of welders used for different purposes. Tig welder is a machine that

is used for tig welding process and while performing the tig welding process a welder

should have proper tig welding supplies with portable arc welders. Tig welding welds

steel and aluminum so a proper welding system with appropriate steel welders and

aluminum welders is needed. Welding industries use this type of welder such as Dc

welder, stud welder, on board welder, reconditioned welder, used welder, laser

welder, ac arc welder , spot welder, metal welder, repair welder and more for the

smooth functioning of welding process.

Welding accessories used in welding industry:

Welding accessories are an optional part that is fitted to welder machines and welding

equipment and it enhances the performance more. Welding accessories include welder

helmets and protection, welding guns and torches, consumables and other accessories.

Welding gears such as welder helmets, Welding gloves and more are used for the

purpose of welding safety. Welding goggles are also used for the welding safety and it

is used to protect the welder face from welding fumes. Each and every welding process

uses different types of welding guns and welder torches and tungsten is the most

consumable electrode used in the welding process.

Plasma cutter:

The latest welding technology is plasma cutting process and plasma welder is the

equipment used for it. Plasma cutter machine can perform two processes such as

plasma cutting and plasma gouging. Plasma gouging is used to remove the welded

materials.
