Welding Process Picker

Pick the metal, thickness and location and see which welding processes suit the job.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual metal, thickness, access, local rules and conditions. Only a visit can confirm what a job needs, and we give you a clear price before any work begins.

How it works

Four quick steps.

  1. 01

    Pick the metal

    The process that fits, with alternatives and notes.

Tips

  • Wind is the biggest outdoor problem for gas-shielded welding.
  • Clean metal makes a better weld with every process.
  • Cast iron and galvanized steel need special handling.
Questions

About this tool.

Is this a procedure?

No. It is a planning guide. Real jobs depend on the joint, the position and the exact metal, and we confirm on site.

Which process is the strongest?

All can make strong welds. Preparation, settings and technique matter more than the process name.

Can I use this for pressure piping?

No. Pressure and gas piping need qualified procedures and testing that this tool does not cover.
