Holiday Safety: Best Practices for Handling Industrial Gases
The holiday season is right around the corner, and besides bringing some snow and festive spirit, it’s also accompanied by changes in work schedules, reduced staff, and temporary shutdowns. While many industries see a slowdown, this period can pose unique challenges,...
The Role of Oxygen in Cold Weather Welding: What You Need to Know
Oxygen plays a crucial role in stabilizing the weld pool during the welding process. Its correct use also helps reduce porosity and prevent brittle welds. However, slight adjustments may be necessary in cold weather to achieve the right balance, ensuring that the arc...
Product Spotlight – Miller Welding Equipment
Miller is one of the most prominent names in the welder industry. They provide a full spectrum of welders for MIG, TIG, stick, submerged arc, and spot welders.
Welding for Beginners – MIG and FCAW
Don’t let welding intimidate you out of doing it yourself, trying it at home.
Welding Variables – Talking Voltage and Amperage
The correlation between current and depth of fusion is direct: increase the amperage and the depth of fusion increases; decrease the amperage and the depth of fusion decreases proportionally.
The History of Metalworking
It has been pointed out that without fire, there would be no metalworking (nor metallurgy). It takes fire to heat metal so that it is malleable. It takes fire to heat ore so that metal can be extracted. Without fire, gold jewelry might be mankind’s only experience...
Metallurgy and Modern Metalworking
Metal may not make the world go ‘round, but it does make the world modern, in the most basic sense. Metal started out as esoteric substances hidden away in rocks. Once the properties of metals became known, those rocks became ore. The rest, as they say, is history....
The Importance of Shielding Gases
It’s all about integrity – not the welder’s, the weld’s. If you want a weld that is structurally sound – both now and in the long run – you want to implement a welding process that is gas-shielded. The weld pool or puddle is, during its creation, a very...
Argon-CO2 Welding
Argon and Carbon Dioxide are a match made in welding heaven. Argon is non-flammable and makes the ideal shielding gas for shielded arc welding.
Blended Gases For Stainless Steel Welding
Blended gases provide their combined properties to optimize the shielding process of shielded arc welding.
When to Use TIG Welding
First off, let’s make a quick distinction between MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. The difference may seem obvious in their titles. One uses metal and the other, tungsten. However, the form of those materials in the two processes...
HOW TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF DRY ICE
Dry Ice is a great cooling agent and an alternative to normal ice. It helps you achieve very cold freezing temperatures without it getting melted like a traditional ice made of water.
How to Safely Transport Cylinder Gases
Propane and butane are two regularly used Cylinder Gases. Mainly used for the purpose of fueling, they are both flammable and because of that, the use of both of these Cylinder Gases comes with some risk.
What is dry ice?
Dry ice is frozen CO2 and it is a regular part of the atmosphere of earth. It is that same gas that we exhale at the time of breathing, and that plants use during photosynthesis.
