Welding Materials
Different types of metals respond differently to heat. Each has a different melting point, tensile strength, and level of ductility. A welder must understand the properties and limitations of the material prior to welding in order to get the best results possible.
UGETECH specializes in welding the following types of metal:
Carbon steel. Carbon steel includes a broad range of steel subtypes with different elemental compositions. The percentage of carbon present in the compound determines how the metal will react to the welding process. Low-carbon mild steel is one of the most weldable metal materials available, since it possesses few elements that might interfere with the quality of the weld.
Stainless steel. Stainless steel contains chromium, which imparts the material’s prized heat resistance but also acts as a heat sink. The stainless steel medium retains heat, making speed and precision necessary to prevent warping or scratching the surface. Depending on the project and precision required, stainless steel works with both MIG and TIG welding.
Aluminum. Aluminum is much less susceptible to corrosion and lighter in weight than other materials. Aluminum conducts heat more easily than the other metals and melts at a much lower temperature. TIG welding is typically preferred for aluminum welding, though MIG welding can be used in some situations.
Benefits of Welding
Welding offers numerous benefits over fasteners or other methods for joining disparate components. Some of the advantages provided by welding include:
Versatility. Welding is used across industries because it works with a variety of materials and project types.
Permanence. Metal welding forms a permanent bond between two surfaces.
Strength. If done correctly, the weld creates a joint far stronger than the components joined.
Cost-effectiveness. Welding cost varies depending on the welding method and project specifications, but welding is generally a cost-effective process. Most welding projects are relatively fast, which also limits project costs.
By working with an experienced welding provider like UGETECH, you can ensure the long-lasting integrity of your welds.
