Arcwelding, what is the difference between arcwelding and argon arc welding?
Arc welding and argon arc welding are both fusion welding, but there are obvious differences in many aspects.
The following is a detailed introduction for you: Welding principle, Protection method, Welding materials, Welding quality, Scope of application, and Cost.
Welding principle:
Argon arc uses argon-shielded arc (non-melting tungsten or melting wire as electrode); arc welding uses unshielded arc (consumable electrode rod melts).
Protection method:
Argon arc relies on argon gas to isolate air; arc welding uses flux on the electrode rod to form a protective slag.
Welding materials:
Argon arc uses tungsten (non-melting) + filler wire or melting welding wire; arc welding uses flux-coated electrode rods.
Welding quality:
Argon arc has neat welds, low spatter, high strength; arc welding has more spatter, needs slag removal, lower precision.
Scope of application:
Argon arc for stainless steel, aluminum, thin plates, precision parts; arc welding for carbon steel, thick plates, general structural parts.
Cost:
Argon arc needs argon gas and special equipment (higher cost); arc welding has simple equipment, lower material cost.
