Flux Core Welding:
Flux core welding is a type of arc weld- ing process similar to MIG welding, but instead of using a solid wire elec- trode, it uses a tubular wire filled with flux. This flux creates a protective gas shield around the weld, eliminating the need for an external shielding gs. Flux core welding is often used in outdoor or windy conditions and for welding thicker materials where MIG welding may not be as effective.
TIG Welding
TIG stands for tungsten inert gas and is technically called gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The process uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode that delivers the current to the welding arc. An inert gas, typically argon, pro- tects and cools the tungsten and weld puddle. The most important applica- tions for TIG welding are pipeline and pipe welding. It is, however, used in many industries, such as aviation and aerospace and sheet metal industries when welding particularly thin materi- als and special materials such as tita- nium.
