These equipments are easy to use and cost-effective when compared with the work done by earlier technology.
Here are a few advantages of using welding machines:
- It is well suited to thick welding sections.
- High-quality welds can be produced much faster
- Greater deposition rates
- One of the biggest advantages is it is cheap to buy
- It requires less post welding cleaning
- It is useful because you can use it to weld many different types of metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, silicon bronze and other alloys.
