Flux-cored arc welding

         Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW or FCA) is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process. FCAW requires a continuously-fed consumable tubular electrode containing a flux and a constant-voltage or, less commonly, a constant-current welding power supply.



  An externally supplied shielding gas is sometimes used, but often the flux itself is relied upon to generate the necessary protection from the atmosphere, producing both gaseous protection and liquid slag protecting the weld. The process is widely used in construction because of its high welding speed and it portability.

Injection Molding

Injection Molding   Injection machine  The injection machine is a machine that melt plasticize the molding material inside the heating  cylinder and inject this into the mold tool to create the molded product by solidifying inside it. The  injection machine is constructed of a mold clamping device that opens and closes the mold tool, and  device that plasticize and inject the molding material. There are several types in the injection  machine, and the difference is made by how these two devices are arranged.

TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING

     GAS-TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING (GTAW) , also known as HeliArc and tungsten inert gas (TIG). Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG) is the old name for TIG welding process was developed in the late 1930s when a need to weld magnesium became apparent. The process now known as gas tungsten arc welding GTAW and the new name became popular in the technical books. TIG WELDING PRINCIPLE      In the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) metals are fused together by heating them by an electric arc established between a non-consumable (does not melt) tungsten electrode and the work piece. A filler metal may not be used depending on the design of the joint. The molten metal, tungsten electrode and the welding zone are shielded from the atmosphere (the air around it ) by a stream of inert gas through the welding torch. The resulting welds have the same chemical integrity as the original base metal. GTAW TIG Welding can be done in any welding position and in manual, s...
