Welding square tubes is a common process in many construction and manufacturing fields, and when it comes to choosing the right welding method, electric welding and gas shielded welding (gas shielded welding) are often compared to the two main methods. So, is it more appropriate to use electric welding or gas shielded welding to weld square pipes?
First of all, let's take a look at the characteristics and applicability of electric welding. Electric welding is a method that uses welding current to create an electric arc at the welding site, melt the welding materials and connect them together. For welding metal components such as square tubes, electric welding is often a quick and effective method. It can control the quality of welding by adjusting the welding current and arc stability, and the welding speed is relatively fast, which is suitable for high-volume production and high requirements for welding speed.
On the other hand, gas shielded welding uses shielding gas to isolate the welding area from the external environment to prevent oxidation and contamination, so as to achieve high-quality welding. For components such as welded square tubes, gas shielded welding can provide a cleaner and more stable welding environment, thus ensuring the quality and strength of the weld. Especially for situations that require high quality of weld appearance, such as architectural decoration and other fields, gas shielded welding is usually a more suitable choice.
All things considered, for components such as welded square tubes, the selection of the appropriate welding method depends on the specific application needs and welding requirements. If you pay attention to the appearance quality of the weld, require high welding quality and good stability, then gas shielded welding may be more suitable. However, if there is a high demand for welding speed and the requirements for the appearance of the weld are not particularly strict, then electric welding may be a more economical and effective option.
In practical application, the mixed use method can also be adopted according to the specific situation, that is, gas shielded welding is used in some parts, and electric welding is used in other parts to give full play to their respective advantages and achieve the best welding effect.
