ELEKTRIC ARC WELDING

Electric Arc Welding
Electric arc welding is a process in which metal parts are fused together by melting them using an electrode of the same type, taking advantage of the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy.

Applications
Electric arc welding is suitable for welding metal pieces that are 3 mm or thicker. Today, this method is widely used in the automotive, machinery, shipbuilding, construction, and various manufacturing and repair industries.

Advantages
✔ Can be applied in both open and enclosed spaces; welding is possible in any accessible location and position.
✔ Allows welding in tight and restricted areas that other welding methods cannot reach.
✔ Suitable for welding over long distances.
✔ Equipment is lightweight and portable.
✔ A wide range of electrodes are available, enabling welds with chemical and mechanical properties similar to the base material.

Disadvantages
✖ Compared to many other arc welding methods, its metal deposition rate and efficiency are lower.
✖ Since electrodes are short rods of fixed length, welding must be stopped each time an electrode runs out.
✖ After each welding pass, slag formed on the weld metal must be cleaned.
