Types of Welding
1. Arc Welding (Electric Welding) Uses an electric arc to melt and join metals. Types include: SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding / Stick Welding) GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding / MIG Welding) GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding / TIG Welding) FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) ̵...Read more -
WELDING SYMBOLS USED IN PRESSURE VESSEL MANUFACTURING
In pressure vessel manufacturing, welding is not only about joining metal plates. Before a welder strikes the arc, the drawing already defines what type of weld to perform, where to apply it, how much to weld, and which process to follow — all through welding symbols. Why Welding Symbols Matter ...Read more -
WELDING OF CARBON STEEL
WELDING OF CARBON STEEL Welding of carbon steel is widely used in pressure vessels, pipelines, structures, fabrication industries, and power plants. During welding, rapid heating and cooling significantly change the microstructure and mechanical properties of steel. Understanding the Heat Affecte...Read more -
