By: Tim Berryman | 2011-01-11 | Article Marketing The number of different welding processes has grown recently. They differ greatly in the manner in which heat, pressure or both heat and pressure are applied and in the type of equipment used. Some welding processes require hammering, pressing or rolling to effect the coalescence in the weld joint. read more
By: Faye Herl | 2010-03-27 | Manufacturing When you are just starting out with TIG(tungsten inert gas), there are many things to remember. Keeping everything together in a new situation is no small thing and mistakes are bound to happen. If you know some of the common mistakes that happen when people are new to this type of system, it may help to ease the learning curve. read more
By: Natalie Eastaugh | 2011-04-15 | Manufacturing I think it's fair to say that both mig and tig welding have their purposes. I think it's hard to say which is better as I think it is based on what type of welding you are doing. One works better for some things and the other for other things. read more
By: Jody Collier | 2010-03-31 | Manufacturing 4130 Chromoly tubing is used for all kinds of applications, but 2 of the main ones are for airplanes and for racing just about anything from motorcycles, to mountain bikes, to go-carts. AISI 4130 tubing is strong. It's real strong. So the reason it is so popular among race car and airplane builders can use thinner tubing and that translates into speed and less weight. read more
By: Tigweld Aluminium | 2011-12-16 | Business In the TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding process, an essentially non-consumable tungsten electrode is used to provide an electric arc for welding. TIG welding aluminium is a very skilled process which needs the material to be prepared in the correct way, also the correct welding machine and filler rods all of which we will go into at length. You must know the tips on tig welding aluminium as well a read more
By: Jody Collier | 2010-03-31 | Manufacturing Welding Cast iron is always a crap shoot. I don't care who you are. There are so many different grades of cast iron that things are made of and it is not always apparent which one you are about to weld. There are ways of telling, like spark testing but I have yet to see anyone who could tell one cast iron from another. So why is cast iron so hard to weld? read more
By: John Patrick | 2011-05-05 | Sales Tungsten inert gas welding is the full form of tig welding and it is generally an arc welding process which uses tungsten electrodes to produce the weld. The tungsten electrode is a non consumable electrode; hence this welding is called as non consumable welding. read more
By: John Patrick | 2010-09-26 | Business If you need to weld steel, aluminum, magnesium and copper, then the tig welder machine is essential. A welder is a machine or equipment that the weldor uses to make the weld. Tig welders make use of an arc that is shaped from a non consumable tungsten electrode and the heat is generated using electric current. read more
By: Varalakshmi | 2010-11-29 | Online promotion Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is the process of blending together reactive metals such as magnesium and aluminium. The TIG welding method became popular and useful in the early 1940s and, as a result, has greatly propelled the use of aluminium for welding and structural processes. TIG welding is commonly used for both high quality and manual welding. read more
By: Preston Mane | 2010-12-07 | Automotive Aluminum gas welding is a handy (and profitable) skill to have. It takes a bit to learn, but once you have it mastered you are on your way. This article will get you started. read more
By: everlastweldersca | 2010-12-12 | Business The tig welding process affords a better and quality welding than its competitive welding process called mig welding. When you go to a shop for selecting TIG welders, you should be familiar with the power and sophistication of your job. You should calculate the volume of the job so that buy a tig welding machine based on your work requirement. read more
By: Preston Mane | 2011-03-26 | Automotive First you need a decent TIG welding machine. Not a great one, just a decent one. Already got one? You might have an old Synrowave 300 or a DialArc, an old Hobart CyberTIG or you might have a brand new Miller Dynasty 350. read more
By: Jody Collier | 2010-03-27 | Manufacturing Hobart used to be one of the real heavy hitters in the welding machine manufacturing industry. So what happened? The welding supply industry has experienced buy outs and consolidations just like many other industries in the past 20 years or so. Even the welding supply chain I deal with has gone from Holox, to Linde, to Airgas in the last 7 or 8 years. And honestly, there have been some hiccups along the way but that's another story for another day. read more
