Welding is a common and important process used to join two pieces of metal. From construction to manufacturing, welding plays a key role in many industries. But how does it actually work? Let’s break it down step by step.
What Is Welding?
Welding is a process where heat, pressure, or both are used to fuse two pieces of metal together. Unlike gluing or bolting, welding creates a strong and permanent joint.
There are many types of welding, but they all aim to melt the metal at the joint and then allow it to cool and harden, forming a solid connection.
Main Types of Welding
1. Arc Welding
Arc welding uses an electric arc to melt the metal. An electrode carries the current and creates an arc between the electrode and the metal surface. This is one of the most common welding methods.
2. MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas)
MIG welding uses a continuous wire electrode and shielding gas. The gas protects the molten metal from reacting with the air, which helps create a clean weld.
3. TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas)
TIG welding uses a tungsten electrode and separate filler material. It allows for precise and clean welds, especially useful for thin materials.
4. Resistance Welding
This method uses pressure and electric current to join metal sheets. It is often used in automated production, like wire mesh welding.
What Is Welding Used For?
Welding is used in many fields:
Construction – buildings, bridges, pipelines
Automotive – car frames, body parts
Manufacturing – machinery, tools, metal products
Wire Mesh Production – fences, cages, panels
How Is Welding Used in Wire Mesh Machinery?
In the wire mesh industry, welding is used to join wires at their crossing points. Machines like wire mesh welding machines use electric resistance to make strong, consistent welds.
This process is fast, accurate, and ideal for mass production of fencing panels, cages, and industrial mesh.
