Welding

Are there any major differences between plasma cutting and oxy-acetylene?

Multiprocess welders combine both plasma TIG and Stick welding - but how does plasma get so hot, and how does it really melt metal?

Each of the four welders above has its pros and cons and are uniquely suited for particular welding jobs. Here is a comparison of the four welding types and the metals they are suited for working on.

Although it is essential for proper manufacturing, dust collection is usually overlooked as a priority. The importance of proper air filtration and waste handling can make the difference between a cleaned workspace and a hazardous one. Especially in a world where disease monitoring has become a part of workplace safety, proper ventilation and material handling is important for production to continue.

With that being said, there are many different types of ventilation systems for manufacturing, but in this article, we will define and explore 3 – wood dust collection, metal dust collection, and welding fume extraction.

MIG welding involves continuous use of a consumable electrode which produces a spark in the gun. This spark melts the surface and allows the surfaces to be joined, creating the weld. 

TIG, on the other hand, involves passing a current through a non-consumable electrode to join the metal surfaces.

However, when choosing between the two there are several factors to consider.
