Advantages and Weaknesses of the Welding Process

Welding is the process of combining two or more metals that are similar or not similar to molten metal by heating above the melting point and below the melting point. For efficient and economical fabrication, the choice of welding process must be based on productivity and cost factors, along with that of course, considerations of material and welding position. There are several advantages and disadvantages of using the welding process, including:

Advantages of Welding:

1. Welding allows the product to have a stronger joint than the starting material when using filler metal if proper technique is used.

2. Welding can produce a permanent joint.

3. In addition to being used in factories to produce products, welding can also be done in the field when you want to use the benefits of the welding process.

4. In general, the costs incurred for the welding process are the most economical in terms of material use and fabrication costs.

Weaknesses of Welding:

1. The welding process requires energy that is potentially dangerous if not done by someone who is an expert in their field. /p>

2. If the disassembly of the product is required for repair or maintenance, the welding result is difficult o disassemble because it is permanent.

3. Broken weld joints can be enveloped so that they are not visible. Such defects could reduce the connection strength of the product.

4. The welding method cannot be used for the product switching process.
