In GMAW shielding gas plays an important role for high-quality weld. We know that shielding gas protects the molten weld pool from outside contamination while mig welding. Without using gas in GMAW, the weld quality can be compromised and a lot of spatter can be produced. In this post I will describe how to select … Read more
If you are a beginner welder and struggling to set up a new mig welder, then this guide is for you. MIg welding is relatively easy to use compared to its counterparts. Its settings are also easier than you think. You just need to know the basic of mig welding for perfectly setting up the … Read more
When you step into the welding business, you’ll encounter various tools, each with its specific purpose. Two notable examples are MIG guns and spool guns. To decide which is the right fit for your welding needs, especially when working with materials like aluminum, understanding their features and applications is crucial. A MIG gun is your … Read more
Water-cooled MIG guns provide a high level of performance for intensive welding tasks, affording you superior duty cycle and operator comfort. These characteristics are particularly valuable in high-heat applications. Comparison to Air-Cooled Systems This leads to a superior performance as they maintain a stable temperature even under high amperage. Which prolongs consumable’s life and increases … Read more
There are many types of mig torches available for use. Among them air cooled mig torch is worth mentioning. This type of torch uses low amperage electricity and can be used for quick applications. The type of gun is best for regular use in low duty applications. What Is an Air-Cooled MIG Gun? Air-cooled MIG … Read more
If you are new to welding or upgrading your equipment, you may have heard the term “Euro torch” or “Euro connection” thrown around. But what exactly is a Euro torch, and what makes it so special? At its most basic level, a Euro torch is a type of welding torch that uses a standardized connection … Read more
Porosity is a welding defect that causes gas trapped into the weld puddle while welding. During the generation of weld beads, if gas or other contaminants get trapped inside the weld puddle, small gas pockets or voids become visible on the weld. It minimizes the quality of the welds. Causes Of Porosity in MIG Welding … Read more
MIG welding, or Metal Inert Gas welding, is a welding technique where an electric arc is formed to melt the workpiece metals and base metal, allowing them to cool and fuse together. As a beginner welder, you may know that the key to achieving a high weld quality lies in the way of holding and … Read more
Mig gun is comprised of various interconnected elements. Each part of the MIG gun plays a crucial role in ensuring the seamless flow of electricity, welding wire, and shielding gas. From the contact tip to the swan neck, each part contributes to the overall performance and precision of the MIG gun. In this exploration, we … Read more
Think of the contact tip as the welding torch’s fingertip in the mig welding process. It’s the part at the very end that touches the welding wire at one edge and the workpiece at the other. This tiny buddy is all about making sure the wire meets the work metal in just the right way. … Read more
A welding contact tip forms the point of contact between the welding gun and the welding wire. It is typically made of a durable and conductive material, often copper or alloys with high thermal conductivity. It is an important consumable of mig welder torch and it helps transfer current from conductor tube (gooseneck or swan … Read more
A MIG gun liner is a conduit that channels the mig wire through a mig gun. The liner is shaped like a tube and it ends at the contact tip. The liner must be compatible with the size and type of mig wire. So identifying and choosing the right liner is a crucial work for … Read more
Changing the MIG (Metal Inert Gas) gun liner is a routine maintenance task that ensures optimal performance of your welding machine. The liner is a crucial component of a mig welder. It guides the welding wire from the wire spool to the contact tip at the end of the MIG gun. Over time, the liner … Read more
Mig liner is one of the most crucial parts of a mig welding gun. It is an important element that smoothens the wire feeding while mig welding. Basically a mig liner is a plastic, steel or Teflon tube, that directs the mig solid wire from wire drive roll to contact tip. A welder liner looks … Read more
Mig welding is an excellent process for joining metals with continuously feeding wire electrode. Mig welding can make a perfect and long-lasting joint between carbon and mild steel turbo pipe. Besides, the versatility of MIG welding for turbo piping makes the mig welding popular among welders. In this guide, we will talk on whether you … Read more
