What is Welding?

Welding is a fabrication process that is used to join two metals together by melting two pieces together and allowing them to fuse by cooling. There are four types of welding:

  • MIG: Metal Inert Gas Welding
  • TIG: Tungsten Inert Gas Welding
  • Stick: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
  • Flux-Cored: Flux-Cored Arc Welding

When comparing other metal burning processes, soldering and brazing do not melt the base layer of metal. Welding uses enough heat to melt that base layer. This heat also creates a pool of molten metal material that then cools to form the joint, which is typically stronger than the regular material by itself.

 

Third-party testing options and certifications include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • ASME Authorized Inspection (AI)
  • Radiographic Testing (RT)
  • Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
  • Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
  • Die-Penetrant Testing (PT)
  • Production Impact Testing (PIT)
  • Simulated Post Weld Heat Treat (SPWHT)
