Usage and Storage of Electrodes
◆ Electrodes are costly, therefore, use and consume every bit of them. ◆ Do not discard STUB ENDS more than 40-50 mm length. ◆ Electrode coating can pick up moisture if exposed to atmosphere. ◆ Store and keep the electrodes (air tight) in a dry place. ◆ Heat the moisture...Read more -
What Causes Porosity In MIG Welding?
When welding, the goal is to create a strong, seamless bond between two pieces of metal. MIG welding is a versatile process that can be used to weld a variety of different metals. MIG welding is a great process for joining materials together. However, if the wrong settings are used, porosity can ...Read more -
What Is Flux Core Welding And How Does It Work?
If you’re a welder, then you’re probably familiar with the different welding processes that are available for you. But if you’re new to the welding world, or just want to learn more about flux core welding, then this post is for you! Many welders have probably heard abo...Read more -
What is Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)?
Submerged arc welding (SAW), as the name suggests, is conducted beneath a protective layer or blanket of flux. As the arc is always covered by the thickness of flux, it eradicates any radiation from the exposed arches and also the necessity of welding screens. With two variants of the process, au...Read more -
What Welding Spatter Is And What Causes It?
Welding spatter is created when the molten metal from the weld pierces through the welding arc and droplets fly off of the Workpiece. It can cause a lot of issues while welding such as ruining the surface you are welding on, sticking to your clothing or skin and causing eye irritation. Welding sp...Read more -
