TIG, MIG/MAG, or electrode welding: when to use which welding process?

Posted on 18. May 2020
Der Experte: Johann Dallmansböck

Almost any material can be welded using common welding processes: metal inert gas or metal active gas (MIG/MAG), tungsten inert gas (TIG) or electrode (manual metal arc) welding methods. Which process to use depends on the requirements of the component and the production process. Johann Dallmannsböck, trainer at Fronius International’s Welding Business Academy, explains which welding process to use and when. Welding speed MIG/MAG can reduce welding times. This welding process lends itself to automation, which makes joining particularly quick…

Die Touch HF-Funktion gestattet das Verwenden von Brennern ohne Taster und hilft ungemein bei schwer zugänglichen Nahtstellen wie kleinen Rohren.

No other process offers more stable weld seams than TIG welding, as well as better quality in terms of the look and feel of the product. In addition, TIG has a wide range of applications: The process is suitable for all metals and thin sheets as well as out-of-position welding and root pass welding. What’s more, welding does not produce slag, the material hardly deforms at all, and the process is virtually spatter-free. The advantages and broad range of applications…

Stahl und Edelstahl schweißen

Companies producing steel and aluminum supporting structures that are then sold in the European Union (EU) must ensure their products carry a CE label. This label indicates whether the respective supporting structure meets standardized EU quality requirements. Examples of supporting structures include balconies, parapets, railings, bridges, and supports. In order for this quality seal to be granted, manufacturing companies themselves must be certified to European Standard (EN) 1090. The EN 1090 execution classes If a company wishes to obtain the…
