What is welding?

Welding is a specialist field, and if you need help with welding in Cape Town, it’s best to get the specialists for the job. In basic terms, welding combines various parts to form one object without using screws, bolts, or mechanical fasteners. This process can be divided into three categories, depending on the material in question:

  • Plastic welding
  • Aluminium welding
  • Steel welding

Plastic welding is a specialised process requiring specialised skills and equipment. Aluminium welding is also a specialised process, but far more common than plastic welding. Most professional welders can perform this skill, manufacturing customised parts that are strong, durable, and has an excellent finish. Aluminium tanks and other installations are typically used in the fuel and food industries and require craftsmanship of the highest order.

Steel welding is the most common type and is typically done on mild or stainless steel. Objects manufactured here can be customised or standardised, depending on the customer’s needs. Products manufactured through steel welding are used in nearly every industry imaginable.

Benefits of Welding

Welding permanently joins two metal pieces together to form one unit. This process offers many advantages, the most prominent one being the nature of the bond. A welded bond is solid and durable and does not erode quickly.

For experienced welders, welding is a relatively simple process, requiring few tools. When hiring the best services for welding in Cape Town, the process is quick and straightforward, and the finish is smooth and neat. This finish is far neater and cleaner than you would achieve using mechanical fasteners, such as nuts, bolts, and screws.

When gas welding is used, the surface finish is even neater since it melts the base metal without adding another molten metal to the object. When using stick welding, where two metals are molten, the flix formed during this process must be removed to create a clean joint.

A welded bond created by an experienced welder is far stronger than the base metal. Since joints typically experience the most strain in joined assemblies, this prolongs the service life of welded items. When done correctly, welded joints are less prone to rust or erode, further prolonging the service life.

Welding can be used to manufacture new objects or to repair existing ones. When a metal grate starts to rust and erode at the joints or a metal object is wearing thin from repeated use, experienced welders can repair the object quickly and easily. This process prolongs the service life and reduces costs. Getting experts in welding in Cape Town to repair your object is far less costly than purchasing a new one.

How is Welding Done?

Metal welding involves joining two pieces of metal at high temperatures. Here, the base metal is melted along with a filler metal. When these two cool, the two components are permanently joined into one.

Practically, this process involves a few steps:

The first step is measuring and cutting the metal pieces to the required size and cleaning them thoroughly. Impurities on the welding surface will adversely affect the welded joint’s quality since they’re effectively included in the weld. They could make the joint weaker or cause rust and erosion on the joint, especially in steel welding.

Next, experienced workers must line up the weld position. For small-scale welding, this means placing the components in a vice grip and lining up the edges to be welded. For large-scale welding, aligning the edges to be welded together will be more involved. Here, the process potentially involves industrial gantries and large clamps to hold the various pieces in place.

Once everything is in position, the weld is created. There are various ways of creating the weld, depending on the materials used and the type of welding done. Gas welding, stick welding, arc welding, electron beam welding, magnetic pulse welding, and friction stir welding are some options available.

Lastly, the welder must clean the welded joint to remove any flux and other material build-up created during the welding process. This cleaning process is carried out both during and after the welding process. It creates a neat, clean joint that is strong, durable, and secure.
