Times change. It wasn't that long ago that if you owned a set of oxy-acetylene gas bottles for welding and cutting you would be considered to have a pretty well-equipped home shop. Maybe you ...

Aluminum MIG welding—also known as gas metal arc welding (GMAW)—is gaining traction across industries, and for good reason. As companies look for ways to reduce weight, improve corrosion resistance, ...

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

Arc welding using the Metal filler wire as consumable electrode and an Inert Gas to protect the molten pool against oxidation. Figure 1. Schematic of the MIG welding process. In the metal inert gas ...

Although some engineers have had success in spot welding steel and aluminum together, it has largely been considered impossible to achieve reliable, continuous welds directly between the two ...
