Cameron grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, a once-proud steel town on the Lehigh River, where he got a taste of TIG welding in his high school shop class. He holds certificates for Certified WeldingEducator (CWE) and Certified Resistance Welding Technician (CRWT) from the American Welding Institute. His interests include scuba diving, sculpture, and kayaking.
SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), also called stick welding is the most commonly used welding approach in all arc welding procedures. To join various metals, it utilizes an electric current and an anode at the weld pool. Its versatility and simplicity makes it more popular. The anode consists of a stick or solid metal stick […]

Has your car been unusually loud lately? If you’ve been ignoring the noise for too long, it might be time to check it out. A muffler is an engine noise silencer that is fitted beneath the car body, located between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. The noise issue might sound petty until you […]

Did you know that every welding project, especially in major commercial and industrial sectors, requires a certified welding inspector? The welding inspector is charged with the mandate of authenticating that the structure is sound, giving the necessary amendments and recommendations. Additionally, a welding inspector can be in charge of a team of welders carrying out […]

Spot welding, also known as electrical resistance welding, is ranked among the oldest forms of welding. Welders consider this method as the most efficient process to use when merging two or more metal sheets. The technique involves the application of immense pressure, heat, and electrical current through the metal sheets. By doing this, you will […]

As you know, faults in the welding approach may influence the welded material quality negatively. There are several methods of welding material. In this guide, we’ll tell you more about the full penetration welding approach, also called complete penetration weld. An Overview of the Process A complete or full penetration welding approach involves connecting two […]

When people ponder about welding, they usually think of metals getting melted together using flame or sparks generated by a combination of pressurized gases. They don’t think of materials getting connected via speed and pressure. Nonetheless, this is what takes place in friction welding. It’s also called spin welding and it’s more common than you […]

Over the past 10 years, FSW is deemed to be among the more consequential innovations in welding. It’s a solid-state connecting procedure that’s versatile, eco-friendly, and effective when it comes to energy consumption. So, what is friction stir welding? It’s also called FSW. It’s a contact welding procedure that uses the heat produced through friction […]

Dual shield welding, also known as FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding), is a procedure where you use an arc between the weld pool formed from the metal shields and the consumable anode. The pool is protected from an externally supplied gas by a flux in the tubular anode with extra protection. The process is known […]
