What welder to use on autobody?

It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.


Which gas is use in gas welding?

oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding


Where does silica come from when tig welding carbon steel?

Silicon is added to the tig rods in production. Use a gas weld rod which does not have the silicon and the weld will be full of porosity.


What is the best tig welding wire to use on 9010 cuni?

RN 67 if your welding 9010 to 9010 you will need RN 60 if welding cuni to carbon steel an if welding to stainless you will need RN 82


Which gases are used in normal welding process?

Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.


Who did the welding for the world war 2 machines?

Men and women did the welding. In the U.S. women were trained to use the TIG (heliarc) process as they were thought to have a steadier hand. In ship building there were more women welding then men as a big percentage of men were in the service.


Can you tig weld with a miller thunder bolt 230amp welder?

Is this a gasoline or diesel powered unit? If so the lag time between striking an arc and establishing an arc makes it difficult to use for TIG. If not, any DC supply can be set up for TIG. Not for aluminum... Check with your welding supplier.


Can you use a mig welder to tig weld?

No Unless you have a newer model welder that is CC & CV, and then they do not do aluminum unless you get into the high end inverter models. Wire welding uses the CV (constant Voltage) and tig is CC (constant current)


What is the advantage of having different polarities?

Each one has its own characteristics that make it useful. Ex. In GTAW (Tig) welding, in order to weld mild and stainless steel and all ferrous metals you would use DCEN. However to weld Aluminum, Magnesium and other nonferrous metal you would use AC. Consult The American Welding Society for further information.


Your welding helmet is too dark to see the work when welding?

The helmet holds the lens. Lenses come in different shades (darkness). Use the correct shade. Most welding applications call for a shade #10. TIG weldors usually use a shade #9. Plasma applications can call for a shade #11.


how does laser welding machine work๏ผŸ?

The welding process of laser welding is very similar to the traditional MIG TIG (arc welding) welding process. However, in contrast to MIG, TIG welding, Laser welding is much cleaner than conventional arc or Tig welding, and thus helping to reduce the risk of contamination. It's also more precise, easier to automate, and provides for bonding of much thinner metals, and provides for much greater tensile and bending strength. Laser welding is a process that uses a laser beam to join metals or thermoplastics together to form a weld seam. As such a concentrated heat source, laser welding can be performed at ultra-fast welding speeds in thin materials, while narrow, deep welds can be produced between square-edged parts in thicker materials. Often one would use a wire feeder from a laser welding machine supplier to fill the weld seam. how to use laser welding machine Since laser welding machine is different from MIG and TIG, the operation of laser welding machine is the simplest. Usually, MIG, TIG, and other welding processes require a welder who is very familiar with the welding technique to operate. Unlike laser welding machines, you only need to set the parameters needed for the laser to penetrate the surface, and you can use the parameters set at that time without changing the thickness of the material in the future. There are almost no consumables for laser welding machines, but the more common ones are gases, lenses, and copper nozzles. Lenses and copper nozzles are usually included by the laser welding machine supplier when the machine is packaged. These are enough to last for many years. Laser welding machine production methods and costs, accessories. The laser welding machine is basically composed of optical components ( There are galvanometer, beam expander, field lense and other important optical devices in the optical path system of the laser welding machine.), laser welding head, automatic wire feeder, control board (laser welding machine control system), laser generator and so on. The YAG laser welding machine will also include the YAG laser generator (yttrium aluminum garnet crystal).
