Differences between MIG welding and MAG welding
Engineering

Engineering

Welding is one of the joining processes that can efficiently and economically assemble two or more metallic or non-metallic parts permanently. With the extensive development throughout the years, a large number of such processes has evolved in order to cater the need to join a large variety of materials in innumerable ways. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is one such process where metallic materials are joined permanently by melting faying

Welding is one of the popular joining techniques that can permanently join two or more materials together with or without the application of heat, pressure and filler material. Fusion welding is that group of welding processes where faying surfaces of parent component are fused by heating in order to form coalescence. Arc welding is most popular fusion welding process where heat is applied by means of electric arc constituted between

Joining is an integral part of manufacturing as it facilitates easy, efficient and economic production of intricate shaped parts. Basic purpose of joining is to assemble two or more solid components together in such a way that it can form a single unit and can subsequently perform intended functionalities. To serve this purpose, a number of joining processes has evolved throughout the ages that can join structural members in different

Difference between machine, machine tool and cutting tool
Engineering

Engineering

In the context of manufacturing or mechanical engineering, three terms, namely machine, machine tool and cutting tool have different significance. Basically machine is any device that reduces human effort in doing a task. By formal definition, a machine is an assembly of mechanisms that are clustered together in such a way that it can perform certain operations by utilizing electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic power. So a machine is mostly

Manufacturing, a crucial step in production system, converts raw materials and scraps into useful products by adding sufficient value. However, all physical products cannot be produced in same way. Accordingly there exist several manufacturing processes in order to fabricate different objects made of different materials and having varying features. Such manufacturing processes include casting, joining, forming or metal working, machining or metal cutting, heat treatment, coating and coloring, rapid prototyping

Machining or metal cutting is one subtractive manufacturing process where excess material is gradually removed in the form of chips from preformed blank using a cutting tool in order to impart intended shape, size and surface finish. To continuously remove (shear off) layers of material, a sharp edged cutter is indispensably necessary. During machining, relative motions are provided between workpiece and cutting tool in particular directions based on geometry of
