Welding Machines can be grouped into four(4) main types of welding processes namely:

1.) MIG Welding also referred to as Gas Metal Arc Welding.(GMAW)
The MIG Welding is the most commonly used & also the most easily mastered type of welding. Its core applications include the fusing of mild steel, stainless steel as well as aluminum.

2.) TIG Welding also referred to as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.(GTAW)
A TIG Welding is best suited for out high-touch work, for example, sculptures & architectural features. TIG welds provide a superior finish that needs minimal clean up by sanding or grinding.

3.) Gas Welding also referred to as Oxy-Acetylene Torch Welding.
Oxy-Acetylene Torch Welding consists of Mixing Oxygen & Acetylene Gas to create a flame capable of melting steel. The gas torch is commonly used for brazing softer metals such as copper & bronze. It can also be applied in the welding of delicate aluminum parts such as refrigeration pipes.

4.) Arc Welding also referred to as Shielded Metal Arc Welding.(SMAW)
Arc welding is best suited for Construction, Large-scale Repairs & Structural Manufacturing. Arc welds get very very hot, and can burn out thin material easily, thinner materials are more suited to the MIG welding processes.
