Welding equipment
annealing
Industrial machinery; Welding equipment
A commonly used term for describing the heating and cooling cycle of steel in the solid state. The term also implies relatively slow cooling.
arc welding
Industrial machinery; Welding equipment
A class of welding process in which fusion is obtained by heating with an electric arc or arcs, with or without the use of filler metal.
arc brazing
Industrial machinery; Welding equipment
It is a joining or brazing process, in which the heat is obtained from an electric arc formed between the base metal and an electrode, or between two electrodes.
arc blow
Industrial machinery; Welding equipment
It is phenomenon of deflection of an electric arc from its normal path due to magnetic forces.
air-carbon arc cutting
Industrial machinery; Welding equipment
It is a typical arc cutting process wherein metals to be cut are melted by the heat of the carbon arc.
tungsten inert gas welding (TIG)
Industrial machinery; Welding equipment
Also called GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding). In this type of welding, the arc is started with a tungsten electrode shielded by inert gas and filler rod is fed into the weld puddle separately.
metal inert gas welding (MIG)
Industrial machinery; Welding equipment
It is also known as GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). The "Metal" refers to the wire which is used to start the arc. It is shielded by inert gas and the feeding wire also acts as the filler rod.
