Can a 150 amp arc welding machine be used for welding metal frames?
Depends on how thick the metal parts are, and how well the seams are prepped. You also need to consider the duty cycle of the welder if you're doing serial production or long welds.
What typy of welding machine do you need to weld steel?
Steel is such a commonly used metal that almost any welding machine can accommodate it. Some are better than others though. Steel is usually welded with either sick welding, or wire welding (gas shielded or flux core)
Can plasma arc welding weld non magnetic materials?
Plasma arc welding can weld almost any commonly used metal. It is not limited to magnetic metals, they only need to conduct electricity.
Do you need a darker or lighter welding helmet for arc welding?
A darker helmet shade, compared to gas welding. A shade of 10 for 70 amps, it works up from there, or you could buy a auto-darkening hood which you can see out of, but when you strick the rod on the metal it darkens to the right shade for you to still see out of.

Things That You Need In A Welding Shop?
A welding shop is a shop that simply has to have all of the right tools and all of the right supplies. A woodworking shop may be able to get by with tools that do not quite suit the job at hand, but the same can not be said of a welding shop. The first reason is that welding is a very precise science, and you cannot do it with tools that were not designed for the job. The second reason is that welding is rather dangerous, and you need to have all of the proper safety gear to make sure that you do not become injured while you are working. The first thing that you will need in a welding shop is a pair of good welding gloves. These are large, flame-resistant gloves. They can be used to grab hot pieces of metal and move them around. You may not need to wear them the entire time that you are working, but you will need to have some just in case. The second thing that you will need in a welding shop is a helmet with a faceplate. The faceplate will be darkened so that it can protect your eyes. This type of a helmet serves two main purposes. The first is that it protects your eyes from sparks and other debris that may be flying around. The second is that it protects your eyes from the bright light that the welding torch casts; people have gone blind from this before while they were welding without protection. Finally, you will need to have a good metal table with a vice clamp on it. The table needs to be metal so that you can set the red-hot bits of pipe or other metal on top of it when you are done working with them. The vice clamp is needed so that you will have something that can hold these pieces of metal while you are cutting them or welding them together. It is impossible to hold the metal and work with the welding torch at the same time in a safe fashion, so the vice clamp will make it possible for you to use smaller pieces of metal.
How much training is involved in becoming an arc welder?
Arc welding is the process of joining two metal pieces together using a welding machine, electrodes, cables and clamps, and the metal to be welded. You will also need tools for preparing and cleaning the welds, and you will also need safety equipment.

What are the Best technique for overhead and vertical up welding?
The best technique for both is a "whip" or "step" motion. This is where, say we are doing a vertical weld, we would strike the rod at the bottom and proceed to move up going about a half inch up and then a quarter inch back, half inch up and quarter inch back. Keep doing this until you've either finished your weld or your stick is no longer usable. Same with the overhead, using a "step" technique gives you more control. The only thing you will need to do is practice, practice, practice.
