Things to Consider Before Using Stick Welder in an Engine Driven Generator

 Workers can easily run a stick welder in an engine-driven generator . Still, before working it, you need to be sure whether the welder and generator are compatible with each other. You can determine this by considering several factors that will be mentioned in detail in this blog.  1- Consider the output of the generator While looking for a generator, check their output. The output is usually denoted in Watts. For example, if a generator has 4800 watts, it can produce 40 amps at 120 and 20 amps at 240 volts. Properly understanding and choosing the right generator will help you ensure your machine works properly for a longer duration.  2- Consider the output of the welder The next output you should inspect is the welder. You can check their output by looking at the manual or on the side of the machine. For example, if the welder says 240 volts and 25 amps, you should multiply both values. Here the value is 6000 watts. Hence the generator you choose should at least be 6000 watts generat

What is Stick Welder and its Applications

 Different types of welding are used, such as MIG welding, TIG welding and stick welder . Depending on your needs, the workers can choose among these three types of welding. Today we will explain what a stick welder is and mention its application.  What is a stick welder? A Stick welder is a type of hand-driven arc welding used on a wide range of metals. It is a metal-bonding process, where a flux-covered electrode is bonded with two metal surfaces.  This is the only process where AC and DC form between electrodes and the nearby metal surface.  Once the arc has been struck, the electrode’s flux services it as a shielding gas, and it starts to burn. This, in time, creates a protective atmosphere that restricts the flow of oxygen, water vapour or other debris to contaminate the weld.  Stick welders are used because there is no need to use a separate shielding gas, and the work can be accomplished using the basic equipment. The workers can choose among a wide range of electrodes of all
