What is Heliarc® welding?
Heliarc® welding is a form of welding presented and improved in the 40s of the 20th century. The reason why the welding process is referred to as Heliarc® welding is that the welding process requires the presence of two substances. These substances are helium, inert gas that is used for shielding weld, and an arc that is generated by the implementation of tungsten electrodes. The electrode receives a constant power signal from the welding machine.
The process that was used by the gas, along with electricity to create an arch across two materials, was first introduced in the 30th of the 20th century. Although primitive, gas welding proved to be an effective means of joining two metal objects together. He created a much stronger bond than most of the methods of fastening or fasteners. The original process had its problems, but despite the tprůh, it improved as a primary means of combining metals. Today the Heliarc® welding is the most common welding way used when the materials are joined together, such as stainless steel.
Helia gas use in Heliarc® welding is performed for protection of the weld area. This is necessary to maintain the electrode and the arch compressed into one direct contact point. This creates intense warmth.
In some cases, the filling material is used to fill open gaps between welded materials. However, the Heliarc® welding device has passed a long way since its foundation and often does not require any form of filling due to the progress that have been made. As a result, the process in which TIG is performed is a slower and more accurate process than most other forms of welding. The technique of the process insisted longer for some welders to learn.
The versatility of the Heliarc® welding process is one of the largest contributors in the popularity of this specific welding process. The quality and durability of the weld compared to others is another.Because Heliarc® welding combines two materials together without using the filling material in most cases, the binding between two materials connected by this welding method is stronger than the binding that most other welds can produce.
