A Basic Overview of How MIG Welders Work
(By Jeff Bowerman)
One of the most widely used types of welders is the MIG welder. The process of welding that a MIG welder uses is called gas metal arc welding (GMAW). These welders work by feeding a wire which is the electrode through a welding gun. At the same time there is a continuous flow of inert shielding gas. This protects the weld while it cools….download pdf
A Basic Overview Of Oxyacetylene Welding And Cutting
(By Jeff Bowerman)
Oxyfuel welding is a process that uses heat created by a gas flame to melt the base material. The gas flame created by combustion of oxygen and a fuel. Common fuels are propane, butane, hydrogen and natural gas. Oxygen and acetylene burn at between 5600 and 6300 degrees, it is the hottest of any gas flame and is capable of melting almost any metal. Oxyfuel welding with acetylene is called oxyacetylene welding, or simply gas welding…download pdf
All About Brazing Alloys and Products
(By Shweta Srivastava)
Brazing & welding are almost similar in their processes of joining metals despite some basic differences. Brazing comparatively overpowers & beats welding in certain aspects. The methods, though, standout in producing sturdy & durable quality joints depending upon the kind of their application. Therefore, both brazing & welding outdo each other in one or the other departments which we are going to analyze here…download pdf
Aluminum Welding
(By Josh Riverside)
Welding metalwork pieces such as those made from aluminum is relatively easy as it melts at a much lower temperature and does not crack after solidifying. Aluminum welding is done according to the type of aluminum used such as commercial grade aluminum having 99 percent purity, non-heat treatable alloys containing small amounts of manganese (Mn) or magnesium (Mg), and heat treatable alloys containing copper, silicon, zinc, or magnesium…download pdf
An Introduction to Arc Welding
(By Aazdak Alisimo)
The most common method of fusing metals with heat today is arc welding. Arc welding is not a modern discovery per se. It might be said to date all the way back to 1800 and the first carbon electrodes…download.pdf
An Introduction to Welding
(By Aazdak Alisimo)
Welding is one of those construction niches that doesn’t get a lot of attention, but is absolutely critical to the completion of any metal structure. Here is an introduction to the subject…download pdf
Are You Looking For a Way to Learn Welding Without Breaking the Bank?
(By Anthony Nelson)
So your looking for a way to learn welding without having to pay lots of money? Well first you need to know what kind of welding you want to learn. Do you want to learn Mig welding, Tig welding or Arc welding…download pdf
Auto Darkening Welding Helmets Basic Terms and Definitions
(By Jason Miller)
Auto Darkening Welding Helmets are the best welding helmets to protect a welder’s eye from flash damage in welding applications. Auto Darkening welding helmet filters offer the same level of protection as a standard welding helmet filter. Auto darkening filters detect the flash of the arc and darken so fast the eye cannot detect it. Remember welder’s flash is the cause of 6% of construction related injuries and…download pdf
AWS Welding Certification - The AWS Welder Program - Is it Working?
(By Jody Collier)
What is the American Welding Society (AWS) certified welder program?
The construction trades welders like pipefitters, boilermakers, and ironworkers are all routinely required to pass welding certification tests every time they enter a new job. For construction workers, that can be several times a year…download pdf
General Welding Equipment
(By William Walley)
In addition to your personal gear and torches there is a variety of welding equipment in use today. The type of equipment a welder uses will depend on what they are going to use it for and the type of welding they will do…download pdf
How Arc Welding Works
(By Aazdak Alisimo)
Arc welding has given us a major step up in the manufacture of metal components. So, how exactly does it work? Arc welding uses an electrical power source that creates an arc between an electrode and a base substance. The arc creates enough sustained high heat to melt the metal at the point of the arc allowing the metals to fuse. Electrodes come in two different types…download pdf
How to Make Portable Welding Curtains
(By Jody Collier)
If you don’t care about being safe and the safety of others around you while you weld, then you are an inconsiderate Putz and you don’t want to read what I have to say here…download pdf
How to Tig Weld - Basics of Tig Welding
(By Ricky Lim)
Got a welding project to do? Need help with tig welding? Don’t worry. We’ve got some tips on how to tig weld that will save you and your welding project from disaster. If this is your first welding project, it’s best if you get a little background information on welding first…download pdf
Information About Mig Welders Available Online
(By Kristi Ambrose)
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a non consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. Gas tungsten arc welding is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and light metals such as aluminum, magnesium…download pdf
