А multiprocess welder, also known as a multi-process welder or multi-purpose welder, is a welding machine that is capable of performing different types of welding processes using various welding techniques. These machines are versatile and designed to handle different welding applications, offering flexibility to welders who may need to work on various projects with diverse materials.
The main welding processes that a multiprocess welder can typically handle include
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (СМАВ): Also known as stick welding, this process uses a flux-coated electrode to create an arc between the electrode and the workpiece.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (ГМАВ): Commonly known as MIG (Металл Инертный Газ) or MAG (Metal Active Gas) сварка, this process uses a consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas to protect the weld.
Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW): Similar to MIG welding, FCAW uses a tubular wire filled with flux to create a shielded arc.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW): Also known as TIG (Вольфрамовый инертный газ) сварка, this process uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and a shielding gas.
Сварка под флюсом (ПИЛА): This process involves the formation of an arc between a continuously fed wire electrode and the workpiece, while a layer of granular flux covers the welding zone.
The advantage of a multiprocess welder is that it allows a welder to switch between different welding processes without needing separate machines. This can be particularly useful when working on projects that require different welding techniques or when dealing with a variety of materials.
