Welding equipment refers to the tools and machinery used in the process of joining materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This equipment includes welding machines, torches, electrodes, and safety gear such as helmets, gloves, and protective clothing. The machinery can be categorized into various types based on the welding technique, such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), and Stick welding. Each type of equipment is designed to suit specific welding processes and materials, ensuring strong and durable bonds in the construction, manufacturing, and repair industries. Proper selection and maintenance of welding equipment are crucial for achieving high-quality welds and ensuring operator safety.
