Available Sheet Metal Welding Process
HSJ sheet metal welding comes with various types of sheet metal welding, including gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and resistance welding.
Typical types of sheet metal welding processes including, MIG welding, TIG welding, resistance welding, projection welding, robotic MIG and TIG welding, and laser welding on various metallic and aluminum alloy surfaces as well as on stainless steel and iron.
MIG welding
MIG welding, also called MAG welding, is a continuous wire welding process where a shielding gas ensures firing bath protection. MIG or MAG welding is used where high productivity and high flexibility of use are required. While MIG welding requires the use of inert gas, MAG welding is carried out through an active gas. MIG welding can be also performed on thin metal, such as thin steel or aluminum.
TIG welding
TIG welding is one of the most popular welding methods since it provides high-quality components. Especially indicated to weld thin parts, it can be used for both continuous and spot welding.
Resistance welding
Resistance welding is a metal fusion welding technique where the material is heated by electrical resistance. Generally used to weld iron and steel, resistance welding guarantees high-quality standards on welded components while ensuring time and cost savings. If you want to learn more about resistance welding, we will explain everything to you.
Projection welding
Projection welding requires studs to be placed on the metals to be welded. During the metal welding process, the welding current is focused on the stud that heats to obtain complex welds, with final results that ensure excellent quality at low costs. Basically, projection welding is a type of resistance welding that uses projection.
Robotic TIG MIG MAG welding
Robotic welding is performed by programmable industrial robots. Mainly used in situations that require repeated welding, it guarantees repeated precision which is hard to achieve with manual welding. Greater precision and higher productivity are the main advantages of robotic welding.
Laser welding
Laser welding allows metals and metallic alloys to be welded, creating a thin and deep weld, with reduced heat deformations thanks to the reduced heat, even on materials that could not otherwise be welded. Precision, cleanness, minimal heat input, and fast manufacturing are just a few of the advantages of laser welding.
