2. Gas metal arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_metal_arc_welding

   Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) and metal active gas (MAG) is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the workpiece metal (s), which heats the workpiece metal (s), causing them to fuse (melt and join).

3. Gas tungsten arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_tungsten_arc_welding

   Gas tungsten arc welding. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW, also known as tungsten inert gas welding or TIG, and heliarc welding when helium is used) is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area and electrode are protected from oxidation or other atmospheric contamination by an inert ...

4. Shielding gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_gas

   Shielding gas. Shielding gases are inert or semi- inert gases that are commonly used in several welding processes, most notably gas metal arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding (GMAW and GTAW, more popularly known as MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), respectively). Their purpose is to protect the weld area from oxygen, and ...

6. Plasma arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_arc_welding

   Plasma arc welding is an advanced form of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. In the case of TIG, it is an open arc shielded by argon or helium, whereas plasma uses a special torch where the nozzle is used to constrict the arc while the shielding gas is separately supplied by the torch. The arc is constricted with the help of a water-cooled small ...

7. Orbital welding - Wikipedia
