Welding is a process used to join materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the workpieces and allowing them to fuse together as they cool. It’s widely used in construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, automotive industries, and more. Welding is essential for creating strong and durable connections between components, and there are various types of welding techniques depending on the materials and the application. Here is a detailed description of welding work:

Types of Welding Processes

Welding processes vary based on the methods used to generate heat, the materials being welded, and the end requirements. Some common types of welding include:

• Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW): Also known as Stick welding, this is one of the most common and versatile welding techniques, using an electrode coated with flux to melt and join metal pieces.
• Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW or MIG): Involves feeding a continuous wire electrode through a welding gun and using a shielding gas to protect the weld from contamination. MIG welding is fast and can be used on a variety of metals.
• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG): Uses a tungsten electrode to produce the weld and requires a separate filler rod. It is more precise and produces cleaner, stronger welds, often used for thin or delicate metals like aluminum and stainless steel.
• Gas Welding (Oxy-Acetylene Welding)
