Flux-cored welding machines are quite popular today, as they are commonly part of MIG welders or multi-process machines. In rare cases, you can find dedicated FCAW welders that are usually super-cheap machines, but you lose the ability to run solid MIG wire. Overall,
READ MORETo understand the dangers associated with plasma cutting arc, you should understand the basics of how the process works. Here is a quick rundown for you: The plasma cutter works by conveying an electric arc through the compressed air or compressed gases through
READ MORETIG Welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is a process that includes the use of an electric arc combined with a TIG electrode. The electrode itself is made out of tungsten, meaning that it does not dissolve when welding. Old-timers
READ MOREWelding stainless steel requires selecting shielding gases that preserve its metallurgical composition and associated physical and mechanical properties. Common shielding gas elements for stainless steel include argon, helium, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen, (see Figure 1). These gases are combined in varying proportions
