Welding Equipment Knowledge Sheet
What are welding equipment used for?
Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion.

Welding Applications
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| TIG Welding (GTAW) | Uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and inert gas for precise, high-quality welds. |
| MIG Welding (GMAW) | Employs a consumable wire electrode and shielding gas for fast, versatile welding. |
Welding Machine Types
- Tig Welders
- Mig Welders
- Diesel Welders
- Multi Process Electric Inverter Welders
- Suite Case Wire Feeders
Welding Output Types
