Welding is a technical work that relies on precise calculations, temperature, angle, and welding arc, among other factors. Welders need to prepare their workspace and environment to ensure that the workpiece is not contaminated. Using incorrect methods leads to pinholes in welds. The presence of pinholes in welding does not mean they should be there. […]

If you have been skipping the beveling process when welding your pipes, you have equally been compromising your weld’s quality and wasting too much time on your tasks. Sometimes, when fusing two items, you will have to cut an angle on the edges to fit each other perfectly. That is what beveling does. In pipe […]

In particular welding jobs, you need deep heat penetration, and higher power density amounts to accomplish the results you want. It’s not an easy task taking into account the accuracy and heedfulness that manual welding tasks need. Many welders use an automated approach called the keyhole heating method to perform such comprehensive tasks. If you […]

If you’re familiar with a wide variety of welding approaches, only then will you be a better welder, and eventually, take on more tasks. Among the most misapprehended techniques is known as pulse welding, which we’re going to discuss in detail in this guide. If you’re searching for an accurate welding procedure, you may want […]

When you switch on the welding machine, an electric circuit is formed. It has a negative and a positive pole. Polarity plays a significant role in welding. It’s because selecting the correct polarity influences the quality, durability, and strength of the weld. If you use the incorrect polarity, it’ll cause a lot of spatter, poor […]

Have you ever had an interest in welding? You probably have trouble differentiating TIG from MIG welding and when to use either of the two methods. For many years, welders have been using TIG welding to finish projects with thinner metals that MIG could not handle. So, what’s TIG welding used for, and how do […]

If you’re attending a welding class, then you’ll possibly see people in your class donning tailor-made welding helmets. Some may have butterflies, cranium, and funny characters painted on their helmets. Since many welding helmets are available in dark black and matte grey, you can paint your welding helmet to appear more fashionable and eye-catching. As […]

The word ‘spatter’ is familiar to all welders, just as it is frustrating. If you’ve never found yourself glaring at tiny molten metal blobs around your weld after a harrowing welding experience, then you are yet to be introduced to the bare skeletons. Should these spatters fall on you, they will burn through to the […]

If you have worked with aluminum before, you probably understand its challenges when handled the wrong way. Unlike steel and other metals, aluminum needs special treatment before you start the welding process. Step-by-Step Cleaning Procedure for Aluminum for Welding Dirt and other impurities affect the quality of a weld in all metals, and aluminum is […]

Wrought iron is typically used for fences, handrails, and other home metal ornamentation. It does have durability, but if excess pressure is applied, it can break because it is made from cast metal, which is porous. The porousness of the metal can determine its overall strength. Aluminum is an example of a metal that is […]
