Gas Welding Machine

What Is A Gas Welding Machine?

The welding machines in which the heat required for welding is produced due to the arc formed between products to be welded and a wire-type electrode that decreases as the welding takes place is called Gas Welding Machine. The welding surface is formed when the electrode melts in constant contact with the welded part.

What Is The Working Principle Of The Gas Welding Machine?

The reason for using the term ‘inert gas’ in the name of the Gas Welding Machine is the process of preventing the welding from being adversely affected by atmospheric air by a gas or gas mixture supplied from the outside by the gas welding machine and applied to the welding area from a gas transmission equipment.

There are two common types of gas welding machines: MIG Welding Machine and MAG Welding Machine, based on the usage of gas type in the welding process.

What Is A Mig Welding Machine?

MIG is an abbreviation for the term Metal Inert Gas. It states that the MIG welding machine uses inert gases that are Argon and Helium. MIG Gas Welding Machine or method functions for welding low-alloy or zero-alloy steel. It is suitable for semi-automatic and fully automatic-robotic gas arc welding methods.

The abbreviation MAG stands for Metal Active Gas. The MAG welding machine uses active gas, usually Carbon dioxide (CO₂). The fact that carbon dioxide gas is less costly than the noble gases used in the MIG welder machine makes the MAG welding machine more cost-effective.

Since the carbon dioxide gas is stored in cylinders in liquefied form, it has three times lower storage and transportation costs than noble gases. The MAG welder machine is preferable for welding alloy and low carbon steel. It provides a faster welding process than the MIG welding machines and is suitable for semi-automatic and fully automatic-robotic welding methods.

In addition to versatile MIG and MAG welding machines, the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Tungsten Gas Welding is another gas welding machine, commonly used in pipeline welding. The function of Tungsten is as an additive and arc-forming wire in the TIG gas metal welding machine. Tungsten has a high melting temperature. It is therefore also referred to as a non-melting electrode.

The TIG method is not very suitable for robot welding machines. For this reason, it is not conducive to mass production, but it is appropriate for welding non-ferrous metals (Copper and its alloys, aluminum, and alloys).

Gas Welding Machine Prices

In Turkey and other countries, there is a wide range of price scales of gas welding machines based on the number of amperes, size, phase (mono-phase/three-phase), MIG welding machine or MAG welding machine, gas or gasless (new generation), with inverter or without, ampere setting, and imported or domestic gas metal welding machines in the market.

While the prices of new MIG welding machines are naturally higher than the second-hand welding machines, imported, well-known and top-quality brands and models are available for purchase at the highest prices in both new and second-hand gas metal welding machines. After these, the prices of new or second-hand gas metal welding machines belonging to domestic, branded, and well-known companies come into the list. Bag-type gas welding machines (also called mini gas welding machines or small gas welding machines) are the most affordable gas welding machines for both new and second-hand gas welding machines. The price of the 220 V (220 Volt-Monophase-Single Phase) gas welding machine is lower than the 380 V (380 Volt/Three-Phase) gas welding machine prices. There is a gas welding machine with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 stages of adjustment of the ampere stage among the products purchased. In terms of amperage level, there is a gas arc welding machine between 9 amps and 500 amps. These amperage levels or tapping settings are pretty much standardized. These are; 7 amps, 9 amps, 10 amps, 19 amps, 20 amps, 30 amps, 40 amps, 42 amps, 45 amps, 50 amps, 55 amps, 60 Amps, 70 amps, 80 amps, 90 amps, 100 amps, 105 amps, 115 amps, 120 amps, 125 amps, 130 Amps, 150 amps, 160 amps, 190 amps, 200 amps, 210 amps, 220 amps, 225 amps, 240 amps, 300 amps, 350 amps, 400 Amps,  and 500-amps gas metal welding machines. Prices increase as the step adjustment capability and current height (power) increase.
