What type of filler material is used for mild steel?
ER70S-6 is a very common filler metal when welding with Gas Metal Arc Welding or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding on a low carbon steel (mild steel). This can be purchased as a spool or in rod form.

What are the ten difference between TIG and MIG welding processes?
ElectrodeTIG welding uses a tungsten electrode that is not consumed during the welding process. MIG welding uses a metal electrode that doubles as filler material for the weld and is consumed during welding.Shielding GasTIG welding primarily uses argon as a shielding gas, with helium occasionally used. Argon is also the primary shielding gas used in MIG welding, but argon mixtures and carbon dioxide are often used for different applications.Filler MaterialTIG welding requires a separate filler material in rod or wire format because the electrode is not consumed. MIG welding delivers the filler material via the electrode.Work Piece MaterialsTIG welding can be applied to just about any metal, from steel to aluminum and exotic alloys. MIG welding was developed for nonferrous metals, but can be applied to steel.DifficultyTIG welding is considered to be more difficult than MIG welding because tighter tolerances have to be maintained between the electrode, the filler rod and the work piece.
How can someone make a Welding Procedure Specification?
A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a document that provides variables and conditions of a welding procedure that is produced for a very specific application. To write one properly, experimentation and calculations must be done to find the correct parameters for the procedure. To generalize, a WPS must include all known parameters of the process; including process type, current, current type, voltage, shielding gas type, shielding gas flow rate, base metal, electrode type and size, filler metal type and size, joint design, and travel speed. There may be more variables than listed, depending on the application. One must also remember that on a WPS, ranges for variables are used that are adjustable by the welder or welding operator. Ex. Current (Amperage) 150-170 A instead of just saying 155 A. To find these ranges is where calculations are necessary.
What is dual shield welding?
Welding process that uses both flux core, within the wire, and gas to protect the molten weld pool from contamination.

What types of welding used for 8 mm thickness metals?
For welding 8 mm thickness metals, common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding). The choice depends on the type of metal and specific requirements.
