1. What is arc striking? What are the ways to start an arc? What should you pay attention to when striking an arc?
The process of igniting and producing a stable arc is called arc ignition. There...
The thermal conductivity of copper and copper alloys is more than 5 times that of carbon steel. Welding is prone to pores, lack of fusion, and thermal cracks. The selection of welding wire direc...
ER70S‑6 conforms to AWS A5.18. The designation breaks down as follows:
ER – Electrode or filler rod
70 – Minimum tensile strength of the deposited weld metal: 70,000 psi (~490 MPa)
S – Solid wire

1. The priority principle of arc welding with electrodes
For the installation and welding of pipelines whose diameter is not too large (such as below 610mm) and the length of the pipeline is not...
“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 ...
SMAW, also be well known as electrode arc welding, is a fusion welding method in which the arc is induced by the electrode and the welding parts are melted by the arc heat. It is the most widely us...
