Arc Welding

Arc Welding is a fusion welding process that joins metals by using an electric arc to create intense heat, melting the metals and following them to fuse together. The arc is generated between an electrode (welding rod or wire) and the workpiece, creating a molten pool of metal that solidifies upon cooling, forming a strong metallurgical bond.

It works by using an electric arc from an AC or DC power source to generate a staggering heat around 6,500 degrees Fahrenheit at the tip, to melt the base metals, and to create a pool of molten metal and join the two pieces.

When is It being used?

It is versatile and can join metals of varying thicknesses. Its high productivity boosts production for time-sensitive projects. It is compatible with carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other metals.

Benefits

It offers several benefits, including its cost- effectiveness, portability, versatility, and ability to work on dirty or outdoor surfaces. It’s also known for producing strong and long-lasting welds
Cost-effective:  Equipment is relatively affordable, and the process often requires less equipment than other methods, especially those involving shielding gases.
Versatility: It can be used on a wide range of metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and more.
Works on dirty or outdoor surfaces: Can effectively weld metals that are dirty, rusted, or have other contaminants. It also doesn’t require shielding gases, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.
Portability: Equipment is typically lightweight and easy to transport, making it suitable for various locations and projects.
Strong and long-lasting welds: It produces strong, durable welds with good penetration.
