The report includes an assessment of trends, segments, and regional markets. Overview and dynamics have also been included in the report.

Welding Equipment, Accessories, & Consumables Market Segment Insights

Equipment Segment Analysis

Based on equipment, the welding equipment, accessories, & consumables market is divided into oxy-fuel gas, electrodes & filler metal equipment, and others. The electrodes & filler metal equipment segment is expected to expand at a major pace during the projection period, as it protects the metal from damage and improves the weld. The electrode is either consumable or non-consumable, depending on the technology used. A consumable electrode uses filler electrodes to weld a joint, the rod melts and is consumed in the process to bridge the gap between the parent metal and other metal parts. Non-consumable electrodes are not melted away or consumed during the welding process. It involves the use of high-melting point materials such as pure tungsten MP 6150°F, carbon MP 6700°F, and alloy tungsten.
