Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose a welder?

When choosing a welder, consider the type of welding you'll be doing (MIG, TIG, or Stick), the materials you'll work with, and your skill level. Look for a machine with the right amperage range, portability, and safety features. Don’t forget to check reviews!

How to TIG aluminum?

To TIG weld aluminium, start by cleaning the surface with a suitable solvent to remove contaminants. Use a pure tungsten electrode, set your welder to AC mode, and adjust the balance for optimal cleaning. Maintain a steady hand and a consistent travel speed for a strong weld.

Metals and how to weld them?

Welding metals involves understanding their properties. Common types include mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. Use MIG for mild steel, TIG for stainless, and MIG or TIG for aluminium. Always ensure proper preparation, safety gear, and suitable filler materials.

What does a good TIG weld look like?

A good TIG weld should exhibit a smooth, consistent bead with even width and height. The colour should be a uniform shade, free from contamination or porosity. Proper penetration is key, with no undercutting, and the weld should blend seamlessly into the base metal.

What is the best TIG welding machine?

The best TIG welding machine depends on your needs, but the Miller Dynasty 210 and the ESAB Rebel EMP 215ic are highly regarded for their versatility and performance. For hobbyists, the ESAB Rogue ET 180i is a great budget-friendly option. Always consider your specific requirements!

What is the difference between AC and DC TIG welding?

AC TIG welding uses alternating current, ideal for welding aluminium and magnesium, providing better cleaning action. DC TIG welding employs direct current, suitable for ferrous metals, offering deeper penetration and a stable arc. Each has its specific applications.

What kind of welder should I buy?

Choosing a welder depends on your needs. For beginners, a MIG welder is user-friendly and versatile. If you need portability, consider a TIG welder for precision work. For heavy-duty tasks, stick welders are robust. Assess your projects to make the best choice!

What shade lens for TIG welding?

For TIG welding, a lens shade of 10 to 12 is typically recommended, depending on the amperage and material thickness. Shade 10 is suitable for lower amperages, while shades 11 or 12 are better for higher amperages or when welding thicker materials.

What type of welding is the most expensive?

The most expensive type of welding is typically laser welding. This method requires advanced technology and equipment, making it costlier than traditional techniques like MIG or TIG welding. Its precision and efficiency, however, can justify the higher investment.

Which welding method is better for thin materials?

For thin materials, TIG welding is often the preferred method due to its precision and control, minimising heat input and distortion. MIG welding can also be effective, but it may require careful settings to avoid burn-through. Choose based on your specific needs.

Which welding method is easier for beginners, MIG or TIG?

MIG welding is generally easier for beginners compared to TIG. It requires less skill to master, as it uses a continuous wire feed and is more forgiving with settings. TIG welding, while offering greater control and precision, demands more practice and technique.

Which welding method typically provides a cleaner, more precise weld?

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding typically provides a cleaner, more precise weld. This method uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert gas shield, resulting in minimal spatter and excellent control over the weld pool, making it ideal for intricate work.

Why is TIG welding slower than MIG welding?

TIG welding is slower than MIG welding because it requires more precise control and manual feeding of the filler rod. The process involves a single electrode and a separate filler, demanding greater skill and attention, which naturally extends the welding time.

Why is TIG welding so expensive?

TIG welding is often more expensive due to its intricate process, requiring skilled operators and precise equipment. The need for high-quality materials, longer welding times, and the use of inert gases also contribute to the overall cost, making it a premium choice.
