Welding wire is a metal material used to join two or more metal parts in the welding process. The welding wire functions as an electrode that melts and fills the gaps between the parts to be joined, forming a strong and durable connection once it cools.
Welding wire is a key component in the welding process and is very important to determine the strength and quality of the resulting metal joint. Choosing the right welding wire is very important to produce stronger, corrosion-resistant and precise welding.
Several things that need to be considered when choosing welding wire are: Type of metal to be connected, Welding application requirements, Size of welding wire, Type of electric welding electrode used.
Several types of welding wire commonly used in industry include: Carbon Steel Welding WireMetal Coated Electrode Welding Wire (MIG/MAG)SMAW Welding Wire (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) or Manual Welding
