Learn about the types of welding

111 – Manual arc welding, MMA covered arc welding (MMA method). This is one of the most popular welding methods. The welder uses a manual arc welder. However, the coated electrode (covered with a special substance) is melted in a hot arc, which allows metals to be joined. This method is used in various industries, construction and repairs.
135 – Metal electrode welding in the shield of active gases; MAG welding (MAG method). The MAG method uses a metal electrode that is powered by electricity. During welding, a protective gas (usually a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide) is supplied around the arc, protecting the joint from atmospheric contaminants.
136 – Arc welding in an active gas shield with flux-cored wire (FCAW method). The FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) method is arc welding in which the wire electrode has a powder filler. During welding, the wire supplies shielding gas, which allows welding in various positions.
138 – MAG welding with metal core electrode wire (metal cored method). This welding method uses an electrode wire with a powder filler and a metal core. This method ensures high welding efficiency and excellent joint quality, especially when welding thick materials.
141 – Arc welding with a tungsten electrode in an inert gas shield with the addition of a solid wire/rod (TIG method). The TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) method uses a tungsten electrode and the connection is protected by an inert gas (usually argon). This method is used for welding base metals, aluminum and stainless steel, ensuring high quality and precision of joints.

Each of these welding methods has its advantages and applications in different types of welding work. Depending on the type of material, thickness, working conditions and quality requirements.

Summary

Knowing the variety of welding methods, we can appreciate the complexity and versatility of this craft. From traditional stick welding to advanced gas arc and flux-cored wire welding technologies, welders have a range of tools and techniques at their disposal to meet the various challenges of working with metal.

Furthermore, the MMA (111) method remains a popular choice in many applications. Especially where flexibility and mobility are required. However, MAG (135) and FCAW (136) methods are often preferred due to their high efficiency and the ability to weld in various positions. Moreover, the TIG (141) method is distinguished by precision and high quality of connections, especially in the case of non-precious materials.
