WELDING
TRAINING PROCESSES
1. Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) commonly
known as Arc Welding / Stick welding.
This is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable welding electrode
covered by a flux to lay a weld.
2.
Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding (GTAW) commonly known as TIG Welding.
This is a welding process that uses a non-consumable
tungsten electrode to produce a weld. The weld is protected from oxidation by
atmospheric contaminants by an inert shielding gas such as argon or helium
3.
Gas Metal Arc
Welding (GMAW) commonly known MIG Welding.
This is a welding process a consumable
MIG wire electrode and the work piece metal are melted by an electric arch that
forms between them causing them to join. A Shielding gas feed through the welding
gun is used to protect the welds from atmospheric contaminants.
