What is Welding?
The meaning of welding DETAILED EXPLANATION OF WELDING TECHNIQUES Welding describes the process of permanently joining or bonding materials through the application of heat and/or pressure, creating a unified structure. In most welding operations, thermal energy is generated by an electric arc formed between the workpiece and the power supply equipment. This fundamental method is categorized as arc welding. In certain applications like TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, materials can be fused directly through arc-generated heat without additional materials. The intense thermal energy causes the base metals to melt and coalesce at the joint interface. However, most welding processes employ supplemental filler material. This can be delivered automatically via a wire feeding mechanism in MIG/MAG (Metal Inert Gas/Metal Active Gas) systems or manually through coated electrodes. Critical to successful bonding, the filler material must possess compatible thermal properties with the base m...
