SMAW - sHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING
Shielded metal arc welding.
in India-MMAW(Manual metal arc welding) or SMAW(shielde metal arc welding)
In Europe - GMAW(Gas metal arc welding) or FCAW(flux cored arc welding)
GTAW for clean and quality root welds in general across the world.
SAW - Submerged arc welding for high wall thicknesses.
The above are most common types but the selection is depending upon the material, joint design, wall thickness , productivity and application.
Shielded metal arc welding & GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING
The most common type of welding is Shield Metal Arc Welding known as SMAW.
The most common type of welding is metal ark and mig.
GTAW , SMAW and Tig welding
Arc welding processes are commonly used as industrial best practise but different type of welding methods for specific products can be used to avoid heat effect on materials.
For field applications; SMAW and GTAW processes are widely used.
For shop applications;
RMD( GMAW ),
SAW,
GMAW/FCAW ( Both robotic and automized ),
SMAW,
GTAW processes are used commonly.
