Last month, we presented the basics on setting up a TIG welder as the groundwork for the next few write-ups on actually making things with TIG welding. These TIG welding techniques aren't difficult—it ...

Consider the stark contrast between the disposal of a smartphone and the decommissioning of an industrial machine. Smartphones are often replaced prematurely due to fashion trends, even when fully ...

Frequent flyers often underestimate how much engineering goes into making sure that the welded components of the aircraft they are boarding stay together. The aluminum-based alloys used for most ...

When it comes to fabrication, welding is one of the most basic fundamentals. And when it comes to welding, gas metal arc welding (GMAW), more commonly known as metal inert gas (MIG) welding, is ...

Friction welding uses frictional heat to forge parts together without melting them. Engineers can use friction welding to join dissimilar materials and tailor a design’s material properties.

In a welding shop, workers have a choice: complete their work according to safety standards, or overlook the precautions that keep them safe. Although welding should not be dangerous when performed ...

Experienced MIG welders will be insulted by the simplicity of these welding tips, but they may help folks who weld infrequently. Many of us learned to weld with an old “buzz box” arc welder. We were ...
