How Does Welding Work?

Welding has been around in some form or fashion since the 4th century A.D., but modern welding techniques fueled the industrial revolution and are crucial to many modern industries.

Welding is a very broad term covering hundreds if not thousands of specific materials joining processes.

The main welding processes are shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG) gas metal arc welding (GMAW/MIG), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), electroslag welding (ESW), and lastly resistance welding. Did you get all that?

  • Thinking about starting a welding class my freshman year. Hope I do well any tips???

  • Just a heads up you can weld cast iron with an arc welder with cast iron rods

  • So voltage heats up the metal I'm guessing and bonds them together you forgot the most basic of basic of basic b***** God damn I'm still wondering what the f*** how it works you suck

  • Such a ridiculously useful skill which I have zero experience in and envy those who do.

  • You might want to change the way you talk. You have a lot of inflection in your tone which can get boring. I lost interest in your video within the first minute.

  • I watched this without my welding mask. I want you guys to know that now I'm blind
