MIG, TIG & Spot Welding & Brazing
MIG Welding
MIG welding is a consumable electrode welding process offering fast metal fill rates and high current joining. The system offers low distortion when used with specific joint configurations. Both parent metals are melted in the joining process. Suitable for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium joining.
TIG Welding
TIG welding is a non consumable electrode welding process where the filler wire is added separately. This process can give a small neat weld but due to the slower speed usually obtained can offer more distortion. Both parent metals are melted in the joining process. Suitable for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium joining.
Spot Welding
This is a joining process relying upon the electrical resistance of the material to be joined. An electrical current is passed though the two materials which are placed one on top of each other. When the current flows though the two pieces and a pressure is applied the materials melt together to form a joint.
Brazing
Brazing is a lower temperature method of metal joining where the parent metals are not melted but a brazing filler rod is sweated to form the joint. Flux is required which can be applied in either a paste or through the fuel line in the form of a gas. This method of joining gives a smooth join especially in a fillet configuration. Suitable for mild and stainless steels.
