There are many parts that can be saved from scrap heap
by repair and wear protection
Process Selection:
For every welding job, the decision must be made whether to use
manual, semi-automatic or full-automatic welding. Once this is
decided, the choice of either AC or DC must be determined. Then
follows decisions as to special tooling, tooling, and integration of the
welding operations into the manufacturing process
warrants fixture for fully automatic welding, and where fit-up and
shape of parts are satisfactory, it is possible to take advantage of
high-speed, high-quality, fully automatic welding on a great
reduction in labor cost.

You can make a top-quality welds using almost all metals and
alloys, which include aluminum, magnesium, stainless, mild and
carbon steels; silver, silicon bronze, copper and copper alloys;
nickel and nickel alloys.
You can see the weld clearly.
No post weld cleaning is necessary
There is no weld metal transfer across the arc stream, eliminating
weld spatter
It is capable of welding a wide range of metal thicknesses and is
especially useful in making the root pass on carbon steel pipe.
Equipment:
1.
Especially designed welding machine power source. Maybe be an
AC/DC rectifier or direct current generator (either motor or engine
driven). AC current for aluminum and magnesium; direct current
for stainless steel, copper and copper alloys, nickel and nickel
alloys.

Shielding gas and controls

GTAW welding torch
4.
Tungsten electrodes and filler metal wires.

Micro-wire Welding
A gas shield metal-arc welding process which uses
a small diameter, consumable electrode wire,
continuously fed into the arc. Metal is
transferred through gas protected arc column to
the work. The process may either be automatic
or semi-automatic; the semi-automatic is the
more widely used. The main features are an
electrode wire and a shielding gas directed into
the arc by lightweight, manually controlled
welding gun.
Where It Is Used:
The main advantages of Micro-wire welding are
versatility and economy. You can weld in all
positions; the arc is visible to the weldor; there is no
slag to remove and the weld surface is smooth. Used
for welding low and medium carbon steels and low
alloy, high strengths of thin gages to medium
thickness. Welding can be performed on extremely thin
materials (20) gage, and will successfully bridge wide
gaps.
Equipment:
1. Shielding gas system and controls
2. Welding machine (CV) power source
3. Wire feeding mechanism and controls
4. Electrode wire
5. Welding gun and cable assembly
