When buying<\/span> welding equipment<\/span><\/a> It is essential to know what kind of materials are going to be melted. This will determine the <\/span>type of solder<\/b> you will need.<\/span><\/p>\n

At<\/span> Makinak<\/b><\/a> we are specialists in the<\/span> sale of first and second hand welding equipment.<\/b> We have a wide range of these products for both<\/span> manual<\/b><\/a> welding and<\/span> automatic welding.<\/b><\/a>. In this post we will explain the <\/span>advantages and peculiarities of the different types of welding<\/b> .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

soft soldering<\/span><\/h2>\n

This type of welding consists of the use of a<\/span> soldering iron<\/b> that, when<\/span> connected to the electric current<\/b> , begins to heat its tip to<\/span> no more than 450 degrees Celsius.<\/b>. Upon contact with the materials, they are melted. The <\/span>Filler materials<\/b> needed are usually<\/span> alloys of tin or lead<\/b> .<\/span><\/p>\n

It is especially useful for<\/span> joining items made of tin, brass, bronze or lead, as well as galvanized sheets and electronic and electrical components<\/b> .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

brazing<\/span><\/h2>\n

This type of welding uses a<\/span> gas torch<\/b> to force the filler metal (usually<\/span> brass or copper<\/b> ) into the materials to be joined.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its application is limited to<\/span> elements made of brass, copper, silver alloys and steels<\/b> and the temperature at which it works is<\/span> between 450 and 800 degrees Celsius<\/b> .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oxyacetylene or gas welding<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the<\/span> shipbuilding, automotive or construction industries,<\/b> this type of welding is usually used to manipulate<\/span> iron and steel sheets<\/b> .<\/span><\/p>\n

The filler materials can be of the same nature as the one to be welded (homogeneous) or of a different nature (heterogeneous). The method of use consists of applying <\/span>gas with an oxyacetylene torch<\/b> (combination of oxygen with acetylene) that facilitates<\/span> rapid fusion<\/b> and that<\/span> the heat does not spread<\/b>. The required temperature is <\/span>more than 3000 degrees Celsius<\/b> .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

electric resistance welding<\/span><\/h2>\n

This type of welding is finding its place in<\/span> modern industry<\/b> , especially when it comes to working with<\/span> thin sheets<\/b> or in the manufacture of<\/span> bodies for cars, household appliances and toys<\/b> .<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> temperature required for melting is the same as the melting temperature of the materials to be joined.<\/b>. For this, exercise <\/span>pressure<\/b> and<\/b> electric current<\/b> is used<\/span> on the area to be welded .<\/span><\/p>\n

This type of welding has<\/span> different ways of applying<\/b> :<\/span><\/p>\n
