How to Test Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets

I’m often asked how to test auto-darkening welding helmets. There are a few things you can do to make sure your helmet is working properly. First, make sure the batteries are fresh and installed correctly. If the batteries are low, the lens may not darken quickly enough or it may not darken at all. Second, […]

What Shade Lens for Mig Welding

There are a few things to consider when choosing a shade lens for mig welding. The first is the amperage of the welder. The second is the type of metal being welded. And the third is the welding environment. For most home and hobby welders, a #10 shade lens will be sufficient. This will protect […]

What is the Difference between Welding And Brazing

Welding is a process of joining two pieces of metal together by heating the metals until they melt and then cooling them so that they form a solid bond. Brazing is a process of joining two pieces of metal together by heating them until the braze material melts and then cooling them so that the […]

What is Tack Welding

Tack welding is a quick and easy way to join two pieces of metal together. It’s often used to hold larger welds in place until they can be completed. Tack welding is also used to weld thin sheets of metal together, like in auto body repair. While it’s not as strong as a full weld, […]

What is Spot Welding

Spot welding is a type of resistance welding used to join metals. The process involves applying pressure and heat to the two pieces of metal being joined, causing them to fuse together. Spot welding is typically used on thinner metals, such as those found in cars and appliances. Spot welding is a type of welding […]

What is Peening in Welding

Peening is a process used in welding to create a dimpled surface on the weld. This is done by using a peening hammer or other tool to strike the weld. Peening can be used for cosmetic purposes, or it can be used to relieve stress in the weld. When peening is done for cosmetic purposes, […]

What is Butt Welding

Butt welding is a method of joining two pieces of metal together by fusing them at their ends. The process involves heating the end of one piece of metal until it is hot enough to melt, then pressing it against the other piece of metal. As the metals cool and fuse together, they form a […]
