Maximizing Your Return on Your Welding Equipment Investment Fresno CA

One of the oldest forms of welding, gas welding is still widely used today for many applications. Using an open flame and combining oxygen and acetylene, this is a flexible and relatively forgiving welding process. While still used by many for welding, this technology is used more and more for either cutting or brazing operations.

“Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld.”
