How to Choose the Best Welding Gas for TIG welding
In TIG Welding of Carbon Steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Copper, and Nickel Alloys, we use only inert gases such as Argon (Ar) and Helium (He) and they are the main welding shielding gases for TIG welding of stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, copper alloys or any other material. These gases…
MIG Welding for Beginners: The 7 Tips & Tricks for Beginner MIG Welding
With the pull of a trigger when you drop your hood, MIG welding is easily the most practical welding process. The bright arc makes it easy to see your puddle (unlike TIG), and you don’t have to constantly reload electrodes into a stinger (like SMAW). As anxious as you are to start…
Double Pulse Digital Control MIG/MAG series: Expert in Thin Aluminum Welding from Perfect Power
Aluminum is the world’s most abundant metal and is the third most common element comprising 8% of the earth’s crust. The versatility of aluminum makes it the most widely used metal after steel. Aluminum alloy has been used widely for lightweight structures such as electric vehicles (EV), transport chemical tanks, aerospace, etc due…
What is the Difference Between Stick Welding and MIG Welding?
If you’re a new welder, you may be wondering what the difference is between stick welding and MIG welding, and which type of welding may be more useful or more versatile. In this blog from Perfect Power Welder, we’ll discuss the basics of each method of welding along with some…
What Beginner Welders Need to Know – Your Beginner’s Guide
What Beginner Welders Need to Know – Your Beginner’s Guide Begin with the right welding wire selection, you should use e71t-gs with 0.30” diameter and try to run the settings as low as you can. Some other welding tips include using a series of tack welds, backing bars, and doing…
Why Is Mig Welding Machine Considered To Be A Better Choice For Body Panels?
If you ask any welder out there, their usual choice while welding body panels and sheet metals would be MIG welding. There is a very simple reasoning behind this, MIG welding does not run as hot as flux-core. During the latter, the wires use more heat as the arc also…
What Can You Weld With Mig Welder?
MIG welding is usually used in shops where the production of the same types of products is high and where there is less chance of your gas shielding being blown away by the wind. It is widely used in construction processes, sheet metal work in the automotive industry, shipbuilding, and…
Why Mig Welding Is Popular?
MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas Welding or as named by the American Welding Society, Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). To not overcomplicate things, many people just refer to it as wire welding. Wire welding (aka MIG and GMAW) was first invented in the 1940s. Fast-forward 70 years and the…
Welding Body Panels with Flux Core Welding Machines: Is it possible? Should you even bother?
Welding body panels using flux cored welding machines (or FCAW) is possible, but not recommended. With FCAW the body panel will be more prone to burn through and warping due to the excessive, localized heat. There are some ways to increase your chances and make it happen.
