Welding Thin Metal Sheets

When welding thin metal the main objective is to avoid warping burn through and excessive heat affected zones while still ensuring the weld has enough mechanical strength for the application.

Welding thin metal sheets.

Gas metal arc welding gmaw is an effective method for joining light gauge metals such as carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel. Mig welding is one of the simplest to use for welding. Its primary usage is in welding auto body and sheet metal. The spot welding process is one of the oldest welding methods used.

It is an arc welding process that where you feed a solid wire electrode through a welding gun. The ration of thickness should not exceed 3 1mm. Spot welding is usually used to join a panel of overlapping sheet metal parts that are usually 3mm thick. Learn why mig pulsed mig tig and pulsed tig are the ideal choices when welding sheet metal.

The thin metal technique is a non continuous process that is used for thin metal such as car body panels.
