This article will introduce in detail the various welding methods used in the production of shop fittings, and introduce their advantages and disadvantagescommonly used types are。
In the production of shop fixtures such as shop shelves ,shipping cart, metal hooks, and warehouse racks, several welding methods are employed.
What is metal welding?
It is a common manufacturing process, which refers to the process of connecting two or more parts into a solid whole under the action of high temperature, pressure or both. It is widely used in our production and life.
Whati is spot welding?Spot welding, a type of resistance welding, involves passing an electric current through the metals to be joined, generating heat due to electrical resistance and forming a weld under pressure.
Equipment: Spot welding machines.
Applications: Commonly used for welding display hooks (slatwall hooks, pegboard hooks, grid hooks, euro hooks) and metal trolleys.
Advantages: Low cost and fast welding speed.
Disadvantages: Suitable only for welding thin metal sheets or wires; the resulting welds have lower strength, making it less suitable for heavy-duty applications like hanging bars and fixture racks.
What is TIG Welding?
Process: Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding uses a tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert gas such as argon or helium.
Equipment: TIG welders, welding torches, and shielding gases.
Applications: Commonly used for welding between horizontal bars and vertical bars of metal display racks, welding between metal brackets and connecting rods,
Advantages: Produces aesthetically pleasing welds with high strength.
Disadvantages: Higher cost and requires skilled welders.
What is MIG Welding?
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding uses a continuous wire as an electrode and an inert gas to protect the weld from contamination. The wire melts and fuses with the base materials to form the weld.
Equipment: MIG welders, welding torches, continuous wire feeders, and shielding gases like CO2 or argon.
Applications: Commonly used for welding the bases of metal trolleys and display racks.
Advantages: Low welding cost and strong welds.
Disadvantages: Large weld scars that require post-weld finishing.
What is Laser Welding?
Laser welding uses high-energy laser pulses to locally heat the materials at the weld joint, melting and fusing them.
Equipment: Laser welding machines.
Applications: Suitable for replacing traditional TIG welding in large-scale production.
Advantages: Low welding cost, fast welding speed, and high weld strength; does not require skilled welders.
Disadvantages: Best suited for high-volume production.
Each welding technique has specific advantages and disadvantages, making them suitable for different applications within the shop fixture industry. By choosing the appropriate welding method, manufacturers can ensure the strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness of their products.
Metal bending is an important manufacturing process that is widely used in many industries and fields. By understanding the different types of bending methods and their advantages and disadvantages, you can better choose the appropriate process and equipment to meet specific manufacturing needs. When designing bent parts, rationally selecting materials and optimizing structural design can improve the quality of parts and production efficiency.
