The shielding gas can be inert or active. An inert gas does not react with the molten weld at all while an active gas participates in the welding process by stabilizing the arc and securing the smooth transfer of material to the weld. Inert gas is used in MIG welding (metal-arc inert ...
For TIG welding, reaction-free (inert) shielding gas is used. The gas atmosphere has a protective function, preventing chemical reactions with the liquid weld pool and the heated material. This guarantees high-quality weld seams. The noble gases argon and helium, or a mixture of these gases, ...
Bare wire MIG welding can be used to join thin pieces of metal together. Flux core MIG welding can be used outdoors because it does not require a flow meter or gas supply. MIG welding is usually the welding of choice for DIY enthusiasts and hobby welders who don’t have the money to s...
Everything you need to know about welding masks, goggles, gloves, and PPE to keep you safe as you weld along with materials used in welding such as welding rods, gasses, and other consumables. Welding Accessories Welding Gas Welding Machines Welding Rods WeldingVarious Metals Wondering how to ...
Ideal for thin-walled pipes and non-ferrous metals. Cons: More complex and time-consuming. Requires a high level of skill. 3) Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Also known asMIG welding, GMAW uses a continuously fed wire electrode and a shielding gas to protect the weld. This method is popula...

Spot welding is suitable for most metals that have a low thermal conductivity and a high electrical resistance.These properties ensure that the heat is generated mostly in the metal sheets and not in the electrodes. The most common metal used for spot welding is low-carbon steel, as it has ...
Friction welding doesn't require the use of filler metals, flux or shielding gas. Friction is frequently used in aerospace applications as it is ideal for joining otherwise 'non-weldable' light-weight aluminium alloys. Friction processes are used across industry and are also being explored as a...
To make the best use of the 1G welding position, modern welding technologies provide an opportunity to regulate the parameters of welding machines, such as new MIG Metal Inert Gas welders. In particular, when welding steel of 0.125 inches thickness, the power should be set at approximately 120...
FCAW is preferable to MAG welding for outdoor use as well as for joining of thicker materials. The built-in shielding provided by the filler wire can endure strong breezes and, if used without an external shielding gas, FCAW is portable and convenient. This welding process also provides more...
