For professional welders, Mig welding machines are not too strange, but there are still quite a few people who do not know about the best gas for MIG welding and what gas Mig welding machines use. The most commonly used gas for MIG welding is a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas…
Aluminum is one of the most used materials both by DIY enthusiasts and in the construction of professional structures. It is a material with many positive characteristics: light, resistant, and lasting a long time. However, the problem arises when we have to weld various pieces of aluminum. This metal is one of the most problematic…
The thinnest metal that can be TIG welded depends on several factors, such as the type of metal, the welding machine, and the welder’s skill. However, you can generally use it to join metals as thin as 0.005 inches (0.127 mm) with the proper technique and equipment. It is important to note that welding thin…
Welding is a practice that many people know and is used in different contexts, from domestic to industrial, for different purposes. This is more than a type of joint that allows you to permanently join solid metallic elements initially separated from each other, allowing an authentic material continuity as if it were a single object….
TIG welding combines two metal pieces using an arc and filler metal (typically silver or copper) that melts at lower temperatures than other welding processes. However, why is Argon Gas used in TIG welding? Recently, argon gas has been used as a shielding gas in welding because it doesn’t react with the base metal or…
Titanium welding is the method of welding together two pieces of metal. It is mainly used in the automotive industry. However, people are slowly getting interested in welding titanium because it is strong and durable. But the question arises, how does one tig weld titanium? As we know, titanium is a very expensive metal, so…
Have you decided to do some welding? Or, maybe you’ve already got a welding project and are eager to learn more about MIG or TIG welding. No matter which method you decide to use, there are certain differences between the two techniques. Let’s explore these differences and why they might make sense. We hope you…
Welding is a skilled trade that requires high skill and concentration. There are many advantages to being a welder. A welder can make a living doing what they love, work in a secure environment, be their boss, and have the opportunity to travel. Welders usually have strong math and science skills, so they can do…
If you plan to weld tungsten-coated wire with a MIG welder, you must set up the wire feeder correctly. As this post demonstrates, a tig welder does require some special settings for a 7525 feeder to function as expected. So, can you use 7525 for tig welding? And can you use CO2 gas for tig…
Pulse TIG welding is a process that is used for welding various metals together. It is a type of TIG welding that uses a pulsing current. This causes the weld to be more stable and results in a higher quality weld. However, pulse TIG welding is often used to weld thin materials, such as aluminum,…
