The GMAW process (part 3):

In general MIG is considered a Constant Voltage (CV) process. While welding voltage does not vary, but wire speed determines the amps. As the feed rate of the wire changes, so do the amps. Many models of welders use an inch per minute scale, and others use an amp scale. Either is correct, though wire speed is the most commonly used scale. Man

The GMAW process (part 2):

As already mentioned, MIG welding uses a gas or blend of gases in lieu of a flux. Usually the primary component of the gas is Argon, though CO2 is usually present for most steel applications. A triple blend of Argon, Helium and O2 may be used for Stainless Steels. While welding aluminum, pure Argon is generally used.

The GMAW process (part 1):

One of the most widely misunderstood forms of welding is GMAW.Gas Metal Arc Welding is more commonly known as MIG. MIG is an older term used to refer to Metal Inert Gas(MIG) welding.

The SMAW process (part 2):

The bare metal portion of the rod that is not coated is inserted into an electrode holder, sometimes called a "stinger".The stinger holds the metal rod while welding and allows the welder, (the person), to change the angle of the rod without having to change position or to reach around an object to weld.

The SMAW Process (part 1):

We'll start with our look at welding definitions by discussing one of the most common welding processes: SMAW. SMAW stands for Shielded Metal Arc Welding.It’s also commonly referred to as Stick welding, or generally as Arc welding.

How do I choose the right welder for me?

If you’ve been thinking about buying a welder lately, then you’ve been giving some consideration to which is the best to suit your needs.If you are like most people, you may be confused by the wide array of welders on the market, and even likely by the terminology.You may be wondering what all those foreign sounding acronyms mean: SMAW,GTAW and GMAW.And you may hear terms like MIG, TIG or S

Equipments of welding:

Most people know the definition of welding by now. At least they should know welding is a term used in manufacturing industries which manufactures heavy and other steel related objects which we are most likely to use on a day to day basis. Nonetheless, welding is a process where two or more metal pieces are joined together with the help of a molten solution. The molten solution on cooling down forms a strong bond between the work pieces. This whole process depends heavily upon electricity and high heat transfer to be a successful one.

Concentration as a key factor in welding:

Have you ever imagined how the welding process actually works? Have you ever actually been involved in performing one? Do you aspire to become a professional welder? Firstly welding is a process or an art where two or more metal work pieces are joined together with the help of a molten solution which solidifies and forms a bond between them once it cools down. The process as such involves high electricity and intense heat transfer in order to generate the molten solution which is the basic essentially of joining.

Protect yourself during welding:

Welding is an art where iron, steel and other strong materials are joined together with the help of a molten solution which when cooled down forms a solid bond between them. The molten solution is generated using electricity and high transfer of heat energy. As such it involves high intense sparks and heat in the whole process. This process is mainly done to manufacture planes, ships and other kinds of metal appliances and things we use on a day to day basis.

T-welding

T welding is a welding technique where the joint is formed in the shape of a T. It is most commonly used for components that require such a shape. The T-weld will have a base and another piece of metal that is attached to it like a T. The two pieces of metal are held together by welding either side of the T.  The joint is formed by first cleaning both the metal surfaces that are to be weld. The metal is placed on top of the base metal in a vertical manner. The right side is first weld at the joint of the two metals.
