ARC process

Arc welding, also known as ARC (Arc Welding), is a common welding technique that is widely used in various industrial applications. This process uses the heat of an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece to fuse the materials and create a permanent bond.

In the ARC process, an electrode is brought close to the workpiece either manually or automatically. By applying an electrical voltage, an electric arc is created between the electrode and the workpiece. This arc generates high temperatures that are sufficient to melt the surface of the workpiece and the electrode and create a welded joint.

There are different types of arc welding processes, including Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA), Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW).

The ARC process offers a number of advantages, including high welding speeds, the ability to weld thick materials and good control over the weld seam. It can be used for a variety of materials such as steel, aluminum, copper and their alloys.

To ensure the quality and reliability of the welded joint, careful preparation of the workpieces, selection of the correct electrode and shielding gases and control of the welding parameters are crucial. By using the ARC process correctly, high-quality welded joints can be produced that meet the requirements of various industrial applications.
