Arc welding, the fundamental process in metal fabrication, that harnesses the power of electricity to join metals together with remarkable strength and versatility. At its heart lies an electric arc, a luminous discharge between an electrode and the workpiece, which generates intense heat that melts the base metals and a filler material, if used, to create a molten pool that solidifies into a robust weld. This opens up the ability for an arc welder to use this weld in a wide range of applications.
Besides using the arc weld for steel beams, columns and other structural steel components, it can also be used for the following:
Structural Steel Fabrication: Arc welding can be used in joining steel beams, columns, and other structural components for buildings, bridges, stadiums, and infrastructure projects throughout cities like Toronto, Hamilton, and Mississauga. The high durability of these arc welds ensures the stability and safety of these large scale construction projects.
General Metal Repairs: An arc welder, can use this type of weld for repairing gates, railings and fences.
Repairing Industrial Equipment: Rozza Welding can undertake repair work on damaged industrial machinery, using arc welding to restore functionality and extend the lifespan of equipment.
Construction: Arc welding plays a big role in constructing bridges and highways, as well as repairing bridges, overpasses, and other highway infrastructure, ensuring the strength to withstand heavy loads and environmental stresses
Metal Furniture and Fixtures: Arc welding is also employed in a variety of metal furniture, shelving units, and other fixtures for commercial and residential use, due to its durability.
There's a number of different arc welding processes that we have listed below, such as GMAW, SMAW, FCAW, and GTAW that allows them to be tailored to specific material types, thicknesses, and application requirements. Arc welding is a valuable asset across a multitude of industries in Ontario. Rozza Welding's fabrication shop caters to the manufacturing and construction industries. Proudly serving Burlington, Grimsby Hamilton, London Mississauga, Toronto and its surrounding cities.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW): Also known as Stick Welding: This industry leading method uses a consumable electrode coated in flux. As the electrode melts, the flux decomposes, creating a shielding gas and slag that protects the weld.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Commonly referred to as MIG Welding: This process uses a continuously fed consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas, typically argon, carbon dioxide, or a mixture, this protects the weld. This type of welding procedure is known for its speed and efficiency.
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW): The Submerged Arc Welding process, the way this weld works, it uses a continuously fed consumable electrode and a granular flux that completely covers the arc and weld pool. This highly efficient weld is used for welding thick materials with long, continuous welds.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW): The ever popular TIG welding, uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert shielding gas. This type of welding procedure is known for its precision and high-quality welds.
Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW): This type of welding is very much similar to MIG welding, flux core arc welding uses a continuously fed tubular electrode filled with flux. Some FCAW processes also utilizes an external shielding gas, while others are self-shielded. FCAW offers high deposition rates and is suitable for thicker materials.
