Safety is of paramount importance when welding, and for this reason, you should wear proper protective garments and gears during welding works. These gears and garments may include a pair of leather gloves, welding jackets, flip-up welding mask or goggles, and welding hats. The welding cap, for example, helps to protect the welder’s head, ears, …
Welding is a process of joining or bonding similar materials (e.g., metals, glass, and plastics) together using fusion. Fusion, on the other hand, is achieved by melting the base materials to be joined. Moreover, a filler material is typically added to the molten materials (weld pools) during the welding process, and these weld pools cool …
Welding is surely not a task for the weaklings, for it is a task for those who are made of stronger of fibers because it entails moving heavy gears and materials from one place to another. Yet, this should not deter you from developing the skill of welding, for the problem of lifting and moving …
Imagine you’ve been welding for several hours, and your body is sweaty and enervated from being in the same position for a long time. You shift position, but you still feel some pain in your back. You want to take a break, but you need to finish your work quickly. So, you plod on, not …
Copper welding is more complicated as compared to metal welding. As a result, most people prefer to weld copper pipe using the soldering welding technique. However, we are going to show you how to weld copper pipe using the GTAW & GMAW welders. Copper is a naturally occurring, directly-usable metallic form or native metal that …
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) is arguably the most popular type of arc welding process that is presently utilized. SMAW is known by many other names such as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), or flux shielded arc welding (FSAW). Moreover, SMAW is more commonly known as “stick” welding due to its use of …
