Welcome to Welding Equipment Source
Welding equipment comes in many different varieties. Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, laser, and an electron beam. While often an industrial process, welding can be done in many different environments. Regardless of location, however, welding remains dangerous, and precautions must be taken and appropriate welding equipment must be used to avoid burns, electric shocks, eye damage, poisonous fumes, and overexposure to ultraviolet light.
Over the years, developments in welding have occurred with the introduction of laser welding and electron beam welding. These processes are versatile and can be performed with relatively inexpensive welding equipment. An operator can become reasonably proficient with a modest amount of training and can achieve welder’s mastery with experience.
The welding equipment is relatively inexpensive and simple, generally employing the combustion of acetylene in oxygen to produce a welding flame temperature of about 3100 °C. The flame is less concentrated than an electric arc, causes slower weld cooling, which can lead to greater residual stresses and weld distortion, though it eases the welding of high alloy steels.
Welding, without the proper precautions, can be a dangerous and unhealthy practice. However, with the use of new technology and proper welding equipment, risks of injury and death associated with welding can be greatly reduced. Because many common welding procedures involve an open electric arc or flame, the risk of burns is significant. To prevent them, industrial welders wear personal protective welding equipment.
As for manual welding methods, labour costs generally make up the vast majority of the total cost of welding. As a result, much of the welding equipment is focused on minimizing operation time.
In recent years, in order to minimize labour costs in high production manufacturing, industrial welding has become increasingly more automated, most notably with the use of robots in resistance spot welding.
