Welding Machinery - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Welding machinery is a device used to achieve metal connection. It uses heating, pressurization or both, with or without filler materials, to achieve atomic bonding of welded parts, thus forming a strong joint. Welding machinery occupies an extremely important position in modern industrial production and is an indispensable key equipment in the manufacturing industry.

There are many types of welding machinery, and common classification methods include classification by welding process and degree of automation. According to the welding process, it can be divided into arc welding equipment, such as manual arc welding machine, gas shielded arc welding machine, submerged arc welding machine, etc. Manual arc welding machine uses the arc heat generated between the electrode and the weldment to melt the electrode and the weldment. It is flexible to operate and is suitable for welding in various positions and various metal materials; gas shielded arc welding machine uses gas as a protective medium to isolate the harmful effects of air on the molten pool and ensure welding quality. Common ones include argon arc welding machine, carbon dioxide gas shielded welding machine, etc. Resistance welding equipment, such as spot welding machines, seam welding machines, butt welding machines, etc., use the resistance heat generated by the current passing through the contact point of the weldment to locally heat the weldment to a plastic or molten state, and then apply pressure to form a welded joint. It is mainly used for thin plate welding and dissimilar metal welding. Laser welding equipment focuses a high-energy laser beam on the surface of the weldment to quickly melt and solidify the material to achieve welding. It has the advantages of fast welding speed, high precision, and small heat-affected zone. It is often used for welding precision parts and micro devices. According to the degree of automation, it can be divided into manual welding equipment, semi-automatic welding equipment, and fully automatic welding equipment. Manual welding equipment requires manual operation to complete the entire welding process; semi-automatic welding equipment is manually controlled by welding movement, and welding power supply and wire feeding are automatically completed; fully automatic welding equipment can automatically complete the entire welding process under program control, which is suitable for large-scale, repetitive welding production.

Different types of welding machinery have different working principles. Taking the gas shielded arc welding machine as an example, during welding, the current output by the welding power source passes through the welding gun, so that an arc is generated between the welding rod (or welding wire) and the weldment. The high temperature of the arc causes the welding rod and the weldment to partially melt to form a molten pool. At the same time, the shielding gas is ejected from the nozzle of the welding gun to form a protective gas curtain around the molten pool to prevent the oxygen, nitrogen, etc. in the air from having a harmful effect on the molten pool and ensure the welding quality.

Welding machinery is widely used in many fields. In the automobile manufacturing industry, it is used for welding of body frames and parts, and the welding quality and precision are extremely high, which directly affects the safety and performance of the car. In the aerospace field, it is used to manufacture parts for aircraft, rockets and other aircraft. Since these parts need to withstand extreme working conditions, the requirements for welding quality and reliability are almost harsh. In the construction industry, it is used for the connection of steel structures. Steel beams and steel columns of large buildings need to be welded to form a stable structure. In shipbuilding, it is used for the construction of hulls. The welding quality is related to the sealing and structural strength of the ship.

Looking into the future, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, welding machinery will develop in the direction of intelligence, automation, efficiency and greenness. In terms of intelligence, by introducing artificial intelligence, sensor technology and big data analysis, welding machinery can monitor various parameters in the welding process in real time, and automatically adjust the welding process according to the actual situation, realize adaptive welding, and improve the stability of welding quality. In terms of automation, further improve the automation level of welding equipment, reduce manual intervention, reduce labor intensity, improve production efficiency, and at the same time improve the consistency and accuracy of welding. In terms of efficiency, develop new welding processes and technologies, improve welding speed and deposition efficiency, and shorten welding time. In terms of greenness, focus on reducing environmental pollution in the welding process, reducing energy consumption, and developing environmentally friendly welding materials and equipment to meet the needs of sustainable development.
