The Science of Gases: Understanding Gas Behavior in Changing Seasons
All you need to know about shielding gas and seasonal temperature changes to keep your welding efficiency and quality in optimal conditions
Troubleshooting Gas Flow Issues: A Guide to Common Problems
How to fix common gas flow problems and when you should call a professional
Welding Mild Steel
Reasons to Use C25 Shielding Gas When MIG Welding Mild Steel The most commonly used shielding gas for home and hobby MIG welding is C25 (75% argon gas and 25% carbon dioxide). It's not the cheapest gas mixes but it is well liked because it gives the person MIG welding...
Dry Ice and How to Preserve It
Dry ice is simply the solid form of carbon dioxide. Used primarily as a cooling agent, it bests traditional water ice with its lower temperature and clean “melting”. It is most useful for preserving items that must remain cold or frozen, such as ice cream or...
Beginner Welding Projects for New Welders
One of the best parts of welding is how much of an art form it is. Sure, there’s science behind it but a lot of what determines success from failure is by practice on the part of the person welding.
Welding for Car Restoration
Whether you are a professional or hobbyist car restorer, you know that assembling panels and frame parts is a requirement on every car.
Got Ice? Try Dry Ice for Your Next Camping Trip
Most people are familiar with the use of dry ice in special effects and Halloween parties. Some even use it for cleaning with dry ice blasting, or for cannabis extraction.
How to Improve Weld Quality
Making a great weld is about more than making it “pretty” – although, the processes that go into making it pretty are more important to its quality than aesthetic considerations.
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...
