Welding consists of joining metal parts by fusing them with heat, sometimes with filler metal. It is often used to manufacture structures, frames, supports and tanks for industrial equipment.
In an industrial shop such as Ateliers BG, this can include:
• Assembly of steel, aluminum or stainless steel parts. • Manufacturing of mechanically welded structures (machine frames, conveyors, supports, etc.). • Assembly of subassemblies before machining or painting.
Common welding processes
• MIG (GMAW): fast and widely used in industrial fabrication. • TIG (GTAW): more precise, often used for stainless steel and aluminum. • SMAW (shielded metal arc welding): common for repairs and field work. • Flux-cored (FCAW): suited to thick parts and heavy fabrication.
