Svetsverktygen

Svetsverktygen are a collection of tools and equipment used in the process of welding. Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing fusion. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint, with the use of high heat. The specific tools required vary depending on the welding process being used, such as arc welding, gas welding, or resistance welding.

Common svetsverktygen include welding machines, which provide the power source for arc welding processes. These can range from simple transformer welders to more complex inverter machines. Electrode holders or welding guns are used to direct the welding current and hold the consumable electrode, if applicable. Shielding gas equipment, including regulators and flowmeters, is essential for processes that use inert or active gases to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. Filler materials, such as welding rods or wires, are also considered part of the svetsverktygen, as they are consumed during the welding process to build up the joint.

Safety equipment is a critical component of svetsverktygen. This includes welding helmets with appropriate shade lenses to protect the eyes from intense light and UV radiation, welding gloves to protect the hands from heat and sparks, and protective clothing made from fire-resistant materials. Clamps and vises are used to hold the workpieces securely in place, ensuring proper alignment and preventing movement during welding. Various hand tools, such as chipping hammers and wire brushes, are used for preparing the weld joint and cleaning the finished weld.
