Copper is probably the oldest metal because it has been used to make weapons and other tools since at least 3500 years BC. It has high thermal conductivity, so it requires preheating even for joints that are moderately thick. Its thermal expansion property means that copper can be distorted during welding if you don’t ...
The inverter-type welding machine has developed new ways of working, achieving improved performance in several areas. One of the points in favor of inverter welding machines is the possibility of selecting the welding polarity. This means giving more "power" to the electrode holder or work clamp.

Welding is a pretty interesting process that involves joining two different pieces of material—mostly metal—together by using pressure, heat, or filler. Moreover, this process requires various welding techniques. Two of the most popular techniques among industry professionals are MIG and TIG welding. As their ...
Today, welding machines are used by professionals and DIYers alike. There are many types, almost as many as materials to be welded. These machines are also used in the construction of pipelines carrying critical fluids such as gas, water, and oil. However, not every welding machine is built for this demanding ...
Not all metals are welded in a similar manner or with the same welding materials. Chromoly, an alloy steel strengthened with chromium and molybdenum, is welded differently than other standard alloys. It is also known as 4130 steel which basically is a code that defines its chemical composition. It offers the perfect ...
