TIG welding isn't rocket science, it's actually closer to metallurgy. We get it. Most hobbyists are at the limit of their comfort zone with MIG welding, and mostly in non-critical areas at that. Our ...

Welding. There’s something almost supernatural about being able to melt metal and use it to glue other pieces of metal together. It’s an experience you must have if you’ve never done it before.

Throughout these past few months, we've put together a beginner's guide that will help you explore the most basic fabrication fundamental - MIG welding. For Part III of the story, we decided to ...

Steve Martin had a bit that was like a fake infomercial where he says, “You can be a millionaire and never pay taxes!” The instructions were, “First, get a million dollars. Then,…” [Brandon’s] ...

Our last foray with Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding—which, by the way, is generally a misnomer for GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), but it's so commonly used, we'll continue to do so—will be a general ...

Filler metal selection is another crucial aspect in preventing craters. For general aluminum welding applications, 4043 ...

Lincoln Electric has introduced the Flex Lase hand-held laser welding system. The 2-kW machine can weld up to four times ...

Although some engineers have had success in spot welding steel and aluminum together, it has largely been considered impossible to achieve reliable, continuous welds directly between the two ...

Titanium and its alloys have been intensively investigated in biomedical applications including artificial joints, because of their excellent resistance to corrosion, elastic modulus characteristics, ...

Cambridgeshire-based intellectual property firm TWI has developed a method of joining thin metal that could change the way enclosures, contacts and RFI shields are fabricated. “It is an alternative to ...
