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.

Aluminum MIG welding—also known as gas metal arc welding (GMAW)—is gaining traction across industries, and for good reason. As companies look for ways to reduce weight, improve corrosion resistance, ...

If you want to weld aluminum, you might think skill-intensive TIG welding is the only way. However, if you already own a MIG welder, an add-on spool gun is a viable option. Retailing for $276, Miller ...

Developed in the 1940s, AA7075 is an aluminum alloy that's almost as strong as steel, yet it weighs just one third as much. Unfortunately its use has been limited, due to the fact that pieces of it ...

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 ...

General Motors has developed what it says is an industry-first aluminum welding technology, which allows it to use more aluminum in the construction of its cars rather than heavier conventional ...

Welding is only one part of metalworking. You also can cut steel, using oxygen/acetylene equipment with a special head called a cutting torch. Cutting torches come as part of many consumer-grade gas ...

Using sand cores, the weld-able, hollow die-cast parts have been developed. For casting, the transition flow filling method is applied to reduce gas containment and to minimize damages to the core. In ...
