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...
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...

High-carbon steel refers to carbon steel with w(C) higher than 0.6%, which has a greater tendency to harden than medium-carbon steel, and forms high-carbon martensite, which is more sensitive to t...
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...
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (abbreviated as SMAW). The principle is: an arc is generated between the coated electrode and the base metal, and the welding method using the arc heat to melt the electr...
