Welders who have just spent over $1,000 on a brand new MIG welder may be hesitant to pick up a canister of shielding gas. That’s especially the case when a spool of flux core MIG wire runs close to the same price as solid wire...
Choosing the right TIG welding electrode can be overwhelming when you learn that there are six different types of tungsten electrodes to choose from. There are even rare earth electrodes that you can toss into the mix at the Baker’s online store. Even if you know which
The post TIG Welding Tips: Find the Right Electrode on Sale appeared first on Weld My World.
Arc welding requires that the welder use electrodes (welding rods) which have wire inside them, which means that they need to be properly maintained and stored in the correct manner. The wires located in the electrode consist of different sizes and materials, to differentiate between...
When it comes right down to it, the strength, longevity and overall integrity of a weld depends largely upon the filler metal. Failing to select the right filler metal for your welding project promises to compromise the fortitude of your weld. OK, that totally makes
