All about mig welding and pros and cons of it

Mig welding is a semi-automatic arc welding process which is most often used with steel. In this process an unremitting consumable wire electrode and a defending gas are fed through a welding gun. At the last part of the gun, there is a contact edging tip which passes electrical energy to the wire.

Plasma cutters yielding maximum production output

A method that slits dissimilar metals of diverse width by using a plasma torch is called as plasma cutting. Inert gases are used and it is blown at a high speed with an electric current to generate a potent torch that can cut through metal. The welding equipment that is used for doing this particular process is called a plasma cutter.

Fundamentals and advantages of tig welding

Tungsten inert gas shortly tig is a type of welding which necessitates non-consumable tungsten. To put it in simple it is the process of merging reactive metals such as magnesium and aluminum. The space filler metal is added by hand.

Mechanisms of a cutting torch

The plasma cutting torch clings to the electrode in an exceedingly dug in compartment where gas is heated to plasma.

The utmost tip of the torch cleaves to the contracting hypodermic with an orifice for the bend and plasma to pass through. The arc is tapered into a focused plasma line of ionizing gas that is proficient to transmit much more force than a regular welding arc.

Diesel generators saving fuel costs

If you have thought of acquiring a diesel generator for your greatest replacement power necessities then you should also need to know that it saves your fuel costs. Apart from that it has several advantages and it takes into consideration the following: fuel-efficient i.e. barely uses fuel, reasonable price but extraordinary worth, easy to start and takes up load.

Caution While welding Fuel Tanks

Welding is a process wherein two or more metal pieces are joined together in heavy manufacturing. A molten solution is used to form the bond between these metal pieces and this particular molten solution is generated from tremendous amount of heat and light energy. It is quite dangerous when we get exposed to such intense energy transfer and we ought to practice caution at all cost. However, we our steps regarding caution have to be more vigilant especially when we are welding fuel tanks.

Variety of MIG welding Transfer Types

There are predominantly four different transfer types of MIG welding.

  1. Short Circuit transfer
  2. Globular Transfer
  3. Spray Transfer
  4. Pulsed Spray Transfer

Short Circuit Transfer:

Angle of the Dangle: Resolving welding issues with torch angle adjustment

A new welder can often be plagued with curious and aggravating weld issues that often lead to a great deal of frustration. Even occasionally it will occur with seasoned veterans of the welding field as well. Often times occurring after a long day of welding or when fatigue is likely to set in. These symptoms are not necessarily exclusive to only one type of weld process. They can occur while stick, mig, or tig welding when conditions are right.

Learning on the fast track: Budget money for practice material

As a member of the technical support team at Everlast, it seems that every day or so I get a call from a guy learning to weld, just having bought one of our units. Typically he will be desperately looking for some advice on some new way to be an instant welder, after reading all the info he can scarf up and watching videos on line until he feels he should be able to weld competently upon the first arc strike. Of course, upon getting less than spectacular results, I receive a call.

Avoiding cold lap

To the uninitiated, the term cold lap may seem more like a medical condition that a welding term. While in reality cold lap is a serious condition, it is a welding related problem. Cold lap in welding has a lot to with poor welding technique. To a novice weldor, it may look like a nice “fat” weld that might have strong rounded look to the top of the weld. Upon closer inspection though cold lap will show light fusion along the edge or “toes” of the weld.
