How Difficult Is Welding Plumbing Pipes?
What is welding?
Welding is a process of joining two pieces of metal together by using heat and pressure. There are many different welding methods, but the most common is gas metal arc welding (GMAW), which is also known as mig welding. Mig welding is a type of welding that uses an electrode (a metal wire) that is fed through a welding gun. The electrode is then melted and used to join two pieces of metal together. The main advantage of mig welding is that it is relatively easy to learn and can be used to weld a variety of different materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. However, mig welding is not without its disadvantages. One of the biggest disadvantages is that it can be difficult to weld plumbing pipes, especially if the pipes are not made of the same material. In this article, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mig welding, as well as how difficult it is to weld plumbing pipes. What are the types of welding processes?
