Mig welding which some say in there opinion its the easiest process

Mig welding uses inert gas and is useful because you can use it to weld many different types of metals such as Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, silicon bronze and other alloys. Shielding gases are necessary for gas metal arc welding to protect the welding area from atmospheric gases such as nitrogen and oxygen, which can cause weld defects like for example Porosity.

Mig (GMAW)

• Very Clean welds with no slag or spatter
• Uses argon/CO2 or straight CO2 as a shielding gas
• Wire is less expensive
• More complex than flux core
• Less portable 
  
  
  

Safety can be the most stylish part about welding! and the most important

Safety is key to welding. It is very important to wear proper safety while welding or even just roaming around the shop. First you would want to make sure you have jeans on and not pants or anything thin. Also, you should get a welding jacket that you are comfortable with during work. Steel toe boots are actually the exact boots your are supposed to have in your work area. Wearing safety glasses also protects the eyes from spatter and dirt. You welding helmet is the most important in my opinion because without it you wouldnt be able to weld or do anything really.(Click here: http://www.lincolnelectric.com/en-us/education-center/welding-safety/Pages/personal-protective-equipment-faqs.aspx

Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC)

In my opinion I prefer using Plasma arc cutting because its a way easier process for cutting metals. The plasma welding process was brung to the welding industry as a method of bringing better control to the base metal process in lower current ranges. this process uses inert gas which is known as (Compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle at the same time an electrical arc is made through the gas to plasma. In this picture the is what is called a plasma torch with an electrical arc coming from it which means its on. To prepare for Plasma cutting it consists of a power supply, an arc circuit and a plasma torch. The torch serves as the holder for the consumable nozzle, and provides cooling (either gas or water) to these parts. http://www.hypertherm.com/en-us/Training_and_education/Intro_to_plasma/What_is_plasma/what_is_plasma.jsp

Tips on Tig Welding

1. This is tig welding which is another process of Welding, Tig is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. the weld area is protected from an inert shielding gas which are Argon or Helium. (tips on Tig welding) While tig welding thin gloves helps for a firmer grip and more comfortable hold. Also while welding the tig torch angle should be around 10 degrees or less. If too much torch angle will deflect the heat and melt the rod before you even get onto the puddle.

Oxy Cutting Process

This is oxy Cutting which is in my opinion is the best way to cut thick metal such as Beams, Tubes, Pipes, and metal frames. During this type of cutting process you would have to wear proper PPE which means ( Personal Protection Equipment ) because if you don't you will get injured.

Most Common electrodes welders use

1. Common Electrodes used for general work include 6010, 6011, 6013, 7018 and 7024, each of which has specific properties 6010 electrodes penetrate deeply, while 6013 electrodes penetrate less. For much better bead appearance and work on higher strength steels, use a 7018 Electrode. The clamp which is holding the grey electrode keeps the rode in place in order for to start welding.

The Electrodes

These are the different types of electrodes that are used on different types of metal. The 6011 and 6013 are known as fast freeze rodes which means they are used to close gaps up. in my opinion the 7014 rodes look better on the work piece and 6013 and 6011 and 7014 is a stronger rode.
