By Aazdak Alisimo Arc welding has given us a major step up in the manufacture of metal components. So, how exactly does it work? Arc welding uses an electrical power source that creates an arc between an electrode and a base substance. The arc creates enough sustained high heat to melt the metal at the point [...]
By Jeff Bowerman Oxyfuel welding is a process that uses heat created by a gas flame to melt the base material. The gas flame created by combustion of oxygen and a fuel. Common fuels are propane, butane, hydrogen and natural gas. Oxygen and acetylene burn at between 5600 and 6300 degrees, it is the hottest of [...]
By Peter Apalais Mig welding, also called wire feed welding, costs less and takes less time than other techniques of welding. TIG and ARC welding take a lot longer to do. Robots can be configured to perform mig welding, and then be placed in industrial manufacturing plants to weld with precision. Here’s an explanation of what [...]
