Filler metals come in many different shapes, sizes, and compositions, each of which is designed to work with different types of metals and welding processes. The three most common types of filler metals are MIG, TIG, and stick welding.
MIG welding involves the use of a gun that pulls a wire electrode through it while feeding a shielding gas into the weld site. The wire electrode melts and forms the filler metal for the weld pool, while the shielding gas protects the weld from contaminants. This process is fast and efficient and is useful for creating clean welds on thin metals.
TIG welding involves using a tungsten electrode to heat the metal and create the weld pool. Once the weld pool is formed, the filler metal is added manually to the joint. This slow process is precise and produces high-quality welds that are free of slag.
Stick welding uses an electric current that melts an electrode rod that also serves as the filler metal. The electrode melts to create the weld pool, and the melted metal from it forms the filler. Stick welding is versatile and can be used in a wide range of welding applications.
The type of filler metal used will depend on the specific needs of the project at hand. For example, if the project requires welding two dissimilar metals, the filler metal must have the ability to bond the two materials together to create a strong joint. In such a case, the filler metal of choice should have a composition that’s compatible with both metals. We carry many welding alloys here at our welding supply store for your needs.
