How much does an electric welding seam cost?

The professional path of a home welder is quite simple: the purchase of the first welding machine, the first repair, the first attempts to do the job efficiently, and after a while the first customers. It is at the last stage that the welder needs an estimate. An estimate for welding allows you to thoroughly calculate your expenses and income. In addition, the customer will have more confidence in you, since you will be able to provide him with transparent calculations.

There are many ways to determine the price of welding work: from the “by eye” estimation method to painstaking calculations. In this article we will tell you in detail how to evaluate your welding work so as not to lose money. We will also tell you about the factors influencing the price, valuation methods, and teach you how to perform simple calculations.

general characteristics

Welding is a procedure that is performed using a special apparatus in order to obtain an unbreakable connection. Welding is a fairly popular service. Without it, industrial production, construction, and the work of a service or repair organization are impossible. It is also used when improving your own home. Electric welding is used for gas and water pipes and metal structures.

The process takes place in a number of stages:

1. Preparation of the workplace.
2. Installing a grounding clamp to the workpiece being welded.
3. Selecting the type of electrode.
4. Performing welding.

Calculation formula

Where twork is the time you spent working;

td is the time you spent traveling to your workplace (an optional item in the calculations);

ST is your hourly work rate;

Zd - your costs for gasoline (optional item in the calculations);

Zmat - the quantity or cost of your consumables;

AO - depreciation of your welding equipment (depreciation is taking into account the natural wear and tear of the equipment).

This method of calculating the cost of welding work is extremely simple and allows you to evaluate the work for both a production welder and a home craftsman. But keep in mind that this is the simplest formula. With its help, the estimate for welding will be undetailed and primitive.

If you perform technologically complex work, then you should think about more serious methods for evaluating your work. Don't forget that when doing homework, prices can be quoted in any currency. And when working in production, only state currency is used.

Factors influencing price

The cost of a weld depends on various factors. Therefore, service companies offer a similar service for different amounts of money. The following affects the price of welding work:

• Material thickness.
• Seam size.
• Material for making the product.
• Welding type.
• Workload.
• Season.
• Working conditions.
• Product diameter.
• Qualification and experience of the master.
• Type of equipment used.
• Urgency of order fulfillment.
• Difficulty of work.
• Rating and prestige of the company.

Varieties

The following types of electric welding are distinguished:

1. Manual arc . It is easy to implement and does not require complex technical support. Suitable for welding stainless steel and ferrous metals only.
2. Welding using TIG technology . Makes it possible to work with vector non-ferrous metals and alloy steels.
3. Semi-automatic . This is a modern and high-quality type of welding. Often used by home craftsmen. The filler material is supplied automatically. The work is simple and of high quality.
4. SPOT . It is used in car service centers when carrying out body repairs. Requires the use of sophisticated equipment. It is used extremely rarely at home.

Based on the material being worked with, welding can be:

• Copper.
• Aluminum.
• Cast iron.
• Of stainless steel.
• Alloys.

Depending on the type of equipment used, welding can be carried out using:

• Welding transformer.
• Welding MMA rectifiers.
• Equipment operating using an inverter circuit.

Welding machines can be:

• Ordinary, without additional functions.
• With the “HotStart” option (facilitates initial ignition).
• With the “AntiStick” function (prevents the device from overheating).
• With the “ArcForce” option (prevents the electrode from sticking to metal surfaces).

Depending on the performer, welding work can be carried out:

1. On one's own.
2. Private master.
3. Service organization specialist.
