What Everyone Needs To Learn

Whether it’s choosing a Solid Wire for MIG Welding or Wire for Flux-Cored Welding, there are many elements which should be considered before selecting a material.

While Plasma Cutting has become more prevalent in recent times due to its precision and cut quality, traditional Oxy-Cutting still has a place for various applications.

While Acetylene has long been considered the industry standard for many cutting procedures, the prevalence of LPG has become more prominent in recent years.

‘Oxy’ Cutting is a process which has been around for a long time but has become less frequently used as welding technology has evolved.

Whether you are looking for a gas bottle for welding, cutting or even brewing alcohol, renting from a gas supplier can quickly become a costly expense.

Many common welding processes such as MIG, TIG and Metal-Core Arc Welding all require an external shielding gas to function correctly.

Although it can be a tricky topic to get your head around, it’s important to develop a solid understanding of the types of gases used in welding.

In simple terms, welding is a process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool causing fusion.

MIG or Metal Arc Welding, is an arc welding process which produces the coalescence of metals by heating them with an arc between a continuously fed filler metal electrode and the work.

Welding as an industry has evolved significantly with the evolution of technology and this is no more evident than with the development of Auto-Darkening Helmets.
