About Welding Alloys
Welding alloys are used to melt and fuse pieces of metal together. They are used in stick electrode welding, metal inert gas (MIG) welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, and flux cored arc processes. Stick electrode welding or shielded metal arc welding melts the flux to form a gas which shields the arc and molten weld-pool. MIG wire welding or gas metal arc welding (GMAW) joins metal by melting the base and filler metals with an arc struck between a consumable filler metal wire and the metal alloy workpiece. TIG rod welding or gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is similar to GMAW, but does not make the tungsten electrode part of the completed weld. Flux cored arc welding or flux core wire welding is also similar to MIG welding, but uses a wire with a central core that is filled with flux. Welding alloys for stud welding and other specialized processes are also commonly available.
