Microwire welding is an arc welding procedure using a powerful microscope and extremely low amperages. It is often performed on smaller, more fragile components, and the technician is crucial to the process’s effectiveness.
What Is It Used For?
Anything smaller than the standard welding procedure, even as little as .0003 inches, is considered micro welding. It employs welding equipment roughly the size of a pen that uses tungsten inert gas (TIG). It’s challenging since micro welding frequently calls for the surrounding environment to remain heat-free.
Technicians use powerful microscopes to observe the minute arc and achieve the required accuracy. Extreme focus is needed.
Using Microwire Welding
Galvanized steel and brass are not good materials for microwire welding. Welding problems may result from the zinc presence. Think about working in a specialist machine shop when a specially made tool breaks. Micro welding is a fantastic method to put it back together. This is only one of the numerous applications for micro welding, but it provides a significant benefit over having to recreate a component.
