WELDING PROCESSES

There are more than 30 types of welding processes, but the most popular are Stick Welding (SMAW), MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas), and TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas).

Which welding process is best for your project? The type of welding process best suited for your specific needs is usually determined by the type of materials we’re trying to join together.

Below is a list of welding processes used at Gorski Welding, and a brief explanation of each.

(Select a welding process below to view details)

• GTAW, Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG)

• GMAW, Gas Metal Arc (MIG)

• FCAW, Flux Core Arc (FLUXCORE)

• SMAW, Shielded Metal Arc

• RSW, Resistance Spot Welding

• TB, Torch Brazing

• Orbital Welding/Automated Welding

• Ball Tacking

Ball Tacking

This video shows the Soudax ball tack welding pen and capacitor in use.

Vacuum Ball Tack Welding is a welding process that is used to position and hold these types of parts together prior to brazing: vanes, nozzles, tube and manifold assemblies, brazing preforms and complex parts. Ball material is compatible with base materials such as stainless steel, Inconel, Titanium, Hastelloy X, aluminum, and more.

Note that Ball Tacking is not intended to be a permanent joining method for an assembly.

Good for:

OEM components in the aerospace industry
Automotive industry on tubes and manifolds
