MIG or Metal Inert Gas welding otherwise known as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is one of the most popular and widely used arc welding processes for joining stainless steel and other metals. In MIG welding, the continuous wire electrode is automatically fed to the welding torch at a user-defined speed. Likewise, the externally-fed shielding gas …
Stick welding also called Shielded Metal Arc Welding, is among one of the most demanding processes to learn. Especially for those who do not weld every day or are new to welding. Experienced welders make this process look easy. They take a stinger, insert an electrode in and give us some tremendous looking welds one …
Sheet Metal fabrication is the process in which flat sheets of aluminum or steel are turned into metal products or structures, by assembling, folding, cutting or punching. By burning and cutting the metal, sheet metals can be stretched, bent, or cut into the shape as desired by the user. The onset of 20th century brought …
Seam Welding or Resistance Seam Welding is a welding procedure in which a weld is produced in the chafing or fraying surfaces of two chemically similar metals. This welding process is surely different from butt welding, but it can produce lap and butt joints likewise. In seam welding, for example, the welds are slowly yet …
There is usually a misconception that MIG welding aluminum is similar to MIG welding mild steel. Contrariwise, these two welding processes are quite different from each other, and it would surely be a mistake if one would apply the same knowledge and welding methods on both types of welding jobs. Factors to Consider When MIG …
Spot welding is made more accessible by using steel, as the electrical resistivity is higher and thermal conductivity is lower when we compare it to copper electrodes. What is Spot Welding? Resistance spot welding is the joining or welding of overlapping metal pieces at small points by applying electric current and pressure. It is a …
