One of the most frustrating moments for a beginner welder is striking an arc only to have the electrode stick to the workpiece. It sticks, glows red, and you scramble to twist it free. Don’t worry...
Single-sided welding with double-sided formation is a core technique that welders must master, and it is particularly critical in the welding of pressure vessels and pipelines. It requires the wel...
Many welding problems that show up on the shop floor—poor bead appearance, porosity, cracking—are often traced back to one overlooked factor: how the consumables were stored before they ever rea...
“Welding” includes many different processes and systems.
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding involves the use of spools and MIG welding guns. This welding process is very good for both steel ...
Important structures such as boilers and pressure vessels require safe penetration of joints, but due to limitations in structure size and shape, double-sided welding is sometimes impossible. A sp...
