Types of Welding Machines Used for Residential and Industrial Purposes

4 MAJOR TYPES OF WELDING MACHINES USED
FOR RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES

■ Working with metal is both an exciting and a dangerous job. As
the sparks fly from the superheated metal, welders are able to
transform even the hardest of metals into the shapes they want.
The skill requires work and practice on using different types of
machines and most commonly used methods. Welding machines
comes in different sizes and shapes from a small home garage
or workshop to industrial work for car manufacture.

1) Mig Welding
■ Mig machine is one of the most preferred and commonly used in
home workshops and industries due to its versatile nature. It
caters the welding of different metals including stainless steel,
mild steel and aluminium.

2) Tig Welding
■
■
Much more specialized that its counterpart Mig, a Tig machine aims at precision
work and have the ability to weld more different types of metal. Metals best welded
by this machine include aluminium, mild and stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze,
magnesium, gold, chromoly and nickel alloys.
Tig machines gives you clean welds without smoke fumes, sparks and splatters. It is
ideal to use for motorcycle frames, aluminium cycle and metal artwork. This
machine has been in use for many years and is quite affordable to purchase.
Another big factor that enhances its popularity among welders is its portability that
helps in easy carrying around construction sites and large workshops.

3) Spot Welding
■
■
Spot welding is a resistance welding machine that specializes in joining 2 to 4 steel
sheet with thickness of around 3 mm each. Along with machine, a pair of electrodes
are used to bind the metal sheets together and pass current through them.
Some great benefits of using this machine includes limited work piece deformation,
higher manufacturing rates, effective power use, no automation, etc. This is widely
used in auto industry where cars can have several thousand spot welds. Spot
welding is opted instead of expensive options such as mechanized fastening, for
e.g., screwing and riveting.

4) Plastic Welding
■
These machines are used as one of the most innovative techniques catering
different kinds of processes. It is specifically used to weld plastic materials, which
are normally difficult to weld though conventional means. The process of welding
plastics typically happens by first fusing the films together, and then applying
pressure on them. This machine has many applications and is a top choice for many
industrial uses.
