Welding Information and Types
Vista Industrial Products, Inc. uses different types of welding processes for different applications. Each process is similar since it is adding a filler metal to conjoint metal pieces into one, but the gas, tools, and temperature of each process is what sets it apart from the others. Each process is suitable for a particular metal material and desired metal application. Here at VIP, our welding processes include:
- Gas tungsten arc welding (TIG or GTAW)
- Gas metal arc welding (MIG or GMAW)
- Resistance spot welding
- Brazing
Welding can be performed on a wide range of metal materials. Many different types of metal including sheet metal, bar stock, and tubing are used to create weldments. Here is a list of common raw stock that can be used for welding here at Vista Industrial Products, Inc.
