The type of welding used in a product can greatly influence both the final result of a product and the time it takes to complete the job. What is MIG welding? Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is also known as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). It’s a process where the weld is between a consumable…

CNC plasma cutters are used for cutting sheet metal, metal plates and other materials through the process of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials that are cut using the CNC plasma cutting process include steel, aluminium, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well.  Due to the methods high…

Gas metal arc welding is a versatile and fast welding process that produces a significantly strong joint finish. It is an ideal welding process for a variety of metal types, including aluminium, carbon steel, stainless steel and copper. Consequently, the process is very popular in many manufacturing operations. The gas metal arc welding process uses…

Implementing the best possible welding processes will allow you to consistently deliver strong, durable and superior welds. Taking the necessary steps to improve your welding process ensures that your weld jobs are free from cracking, undercuts, erratic bends and distortion. Having a superior quality of welds presents two distinct advantages – weld integrity and welding…

Choosing the best method for welding stainless steel completely depends on what qualities you are looking for and the material you are using. Obviously, there is more than one stainless steel welding method, and it is important that you choose the right one for the job so that your finished product is of the best…

Welding aluminium will present unique challenges compared to welding steel – particularly in terms of the crack sensitivity and the chemistry involved. Most welders’ start by learning how to weld steel and, depending on your work and experience, aluminium welding may be a valuable skill to learn.  Although welding aluminium is similar to welding steel,…
