Among welding methods, Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)—commonly referred to as “Arc Welding”—are the two most prevalent processes. Those unfamil...
Ⅰ. Start up
1. Turn on the power switch on the front panel and set the power switch to the “ON” position. The power light is on. The fan inside the machine starts to spin.

Q1: What is welding material? What to include?
Answer: Welding materials include welding rods, welding wires, fluxes, gases, electrodes, gaskets, etc.
Q2: What is acid electrode?
Answer: Th...
Argon tungsten arc welding uses argon as a shielding gas to heat and melt the welding material itself (it is also melted when the filler metal is added) by means of the arc generated between the tu...
The appearance of the weld matters just as much as its strength. Many of us have been there—the root pass looks great, but when it comes to the cover pass, the weld ends up dark, rough like sandpa...
In GMAW (gas metal arc welding) practice, vertical welding is a real challenge for many welders. If you’re not careful, the molten metal drips down, the weld bead looks like a bunch of berr...
