The process of welding is not very easy, rather there are several risks associated with the process. If a novice without appropriate education and training carries out the work, it could be very dangerous. Safety measures are thus, very essential to carry on the process in a safe manner. The right safety gear is crucial [...]

Study says that most of these products are being purchased from the suppliers or companies that do not provide any guarantee of the quality. Another fact that is revealed from these studies is that most of these products are available at cheap prices in the market and they are being imported from China. Buying these [...]

An understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of each form of nondestructive examination can help you choose the best method for your application
By Charles Hayes
The philosophy that often guides the fabrication of welded assemblies and structures is “to assure weld quality.” However, the term “weld quality” is relative. The application determines what is good or [...]

There is not enough weld testing being done in the booming welding hobby field. If a new welder doesn’t know what they are doing, they may get themselves, or someone else hurt or killed. The cable TV shows have done a miserable job of getting that message out, while allowing all kinds of non-existent safety [...]

I saw a lot of bad welding techniques on cable TV shows last night. I’m not talking about, poor fusion, or weld defects such as undercut or porosity. I’m talking about the utter disregard for safety!
There’s a lot more to welding technique than just running a bead. All kinds of bad things can happen [...]

This article will cover some welding defects that are sometimes overlooked or not considered. Each welding project requires careful considerations. They include:

The process, the type of welding i.e. stick, MIG, TIG.
The composition of the base metal and thickness.
The welding position, i. e. flat, vertical, horizontal, overhead.
The weld [...]
