Mig Welding Basics
When it comes to MIG welding, it’s important for new welders to start with the basics to set a solid foundation for success. The process is generally forgiving, making it simpler to learn than TIG welding, for example. It can weld most metals and, as a continuously fed p...Read more -
How to Reduce Welding Gun Wear and Extend Gun Life
Knowing the common causes of MIG gun wear — and how to eliminate them — is a good step toward minimizing downtime and costs for addressing issues. Like any equipment in a welding operation, MIG guns are subject to routine wear and tear. The environment and the heat from...Read more -
How to Prevent 5 Common Welding Gun Failures
Having the right equipment in the welding operation is important — and making sure it works when it’s needed is even more so. Welding gun failures cause lost time and money, not to mention frustration. Like with many other aspects of the welding operation, the most impor...Read more -
Solving Common Causes of Welding Porosity
Porosity, cavity-type discontinuities formed by gas entrapment during solidification, is a common but cumbersome defect in MIG welding and one with several causes. It can appear in semi-automatic or robotic applications and requires removal and rework in both cases — lea...Read more -
Where Should I Set My Mig Welding Regulator
What is MIG welding? Mig welding is Metal Inert Gas welding which is an arc welding process . MIG welding means welding wire is fed into the weld pool by a welding gun continuously . The welding wire and base materials are melted together forming a join. The g...Read more -
How Much Do You Know About a Welding Torch
The welding torch is a gas welding torch that can be ignited electronically and has a locking function. It will not hurt the weld tip if it is used continuously. What are the main components of a welding torch? What precautions should be taken when using welding torchs?...Read more -
Mig Welding Techniques – What to Know
Understanding some proper techniques for MIG welding can help welders gain good weld quality and avoid the frustration and cost of rework. Everything from proper positioning of the MIG welding gun to travel angle and travel speed can make an impact. ...Read more -
Mig Welding Glossary – Terms to Know
Welders use MIG welding in many industries — fabrication, manufacturing, shipbuilding and rail to name a few. While it is a common process, it requires attention to detail, and it is helpful to know some key terms associated with it. As with any process, the better the u...Read more -
Creating a Smooth Wire Feeding Path for MIG Welding
In MIG welding applications, having a smooth wire feeding path is critical. The welding wire must be able to feed easily from the spool on the feeder through the power pin, liner and gun and up to the contact tip to establish the arc. This allows the welding operator to ...Read more -
8 Ways To Reduce Costs In Welding Operations
How to optimize consumable, gun, equipment, and operator performance in semiautomatic and robotic welding With some consumable platforms, semiautomatic and robotic weld cells can use the same contact tips, which helps st...Read more -
What is the Meaning of Welding Torches
The role of welding torches is that in the welding process, the part that performs the welding operation is a tool for gas welding, shaped like a gun, with a nozzle at the front end, and a high temperature flame is ejected as a heat source. It is flexible to use, conveni...Read more -
