Welding is a process used to join materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by applying heat, pressure, or both. The materials melt at the joint and fuse as they cool, creating a strong, durable bond. Common welding methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, which uses a wire electrode and shielding gas, and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, which provides clean and precise welds. Stick welding, or arc welding, is another popular method for heavy-duty projects. Welding is widely used in industries like construction, manufacturing, automotive repair, and more. Welders use specialised tools and protective equipment to ensure the work is completed safely and meets project requirements.

Fabrication involves shaping raw materials, such as metals, into finished components or structures through processes like cutting, bending, welding, and assembling. This process is essential in industries like construction, automotive, and manufacturing, where custom designs are needed. Fabrication often requires precision and advanced techniques to meet specific requirements for functionality and durability. Tools like CNC machines, brake presses, and plasma cutters are commonly used to achieve accuracy and high-quality results. By combining expertise and technology, fabrication allows for the creation of custom components ranging from structural beams to intricate machinery parts, catering to the unique needs of each project.

Several welding methods are used depending on the material and project needs. MIG welding is a popular technique that uses a continuous wire electrode and shielding gas, ideal for large-scale and thicker materials. TIG welding uses a tungsten electrode for precise, clean welds, often on thin materials like stainless steel and aluminium. Stick welding, or arc welding, is commonly used for outdoor or heavy-duty applications, as it doesn’t require shielding gas. Oxy-fuel welding relies on a combination of oxygen and fuel gas to create the heat needed to weld. Each type offers unique advantages based on project requirements, materials, and environmental conditions.
