Welding
Welding is a cornerstone of fabrication at EMESH, encompassing a range of techniques including MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), stick welding and spot welding.
MIG welding involves feeding a consumable wire electrode through a welding gun, where it melts and fuses with the base metal under a shield of inert gas (typically argon or helium). This method is renowned for its versatility, allowing for fast, efficient welding of various thicknesses and materials including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
TIG welding utilizes a non-consumable tungsten electrode that produces an arc to heat the base metal and filler rod (if used), creating a precise and aesthetically pleasing weld bead with minimal spatter. TIG welding is ideal for applications requiring exceptional weld quality, such as aerospace components, automotive frames, and delicate fabrications.
Stick welding, also known as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW) or flux shielded arc welding, uses a consumable flux-coated electrode to create an electric arc, melting both the electrode and base metal to form a strong weld. The flux coating releases shielding gases and forms slag, protecting the weld pool from contamination. Renowned for its versatility and reliability, stick welding is ideal for thicker materials like carbon steel and stainless steel, often used in structural fabrication, repairs, and outdoor applications where conditions are less controlled. Its simplicity and robustness make it a go-to for heavy-duty welding tasks.
Spot welding is a resistance welding process that joins sheet metals by applying pressure and passing high current through contact points, generating heat to fuse the metals. Commonly used in automotive and high-speed production, it creates strong, precise welds quickly without additional filler materials. Ideal for thin metals like steel and aluminum, spot welding ensures efficient, clean joints with minimal distortion, making it a preferred choice for repetitive and high-strength connections.
EMESH’s welding capabilities ensure structural integrity, reliability, and compliance with stringent quality standards across all welding processes.
