Welding necessitates a particular set of skills, experience, knowledge and talent. Although there are various welding procedures, FCAW [flux core arc welding] is a popular method that is utilized by various industries. The flux core MIG welder finds its usage in industries such as heavy equipment repair, constriction, shipbuilding, structural steel erection etc. Unlike other processes, FCAW tends to work on all types of materials even if it is contaminated [barring contaminants like paint, water and oils].  How it works FCAW procedures entail the usage of a constant-voltage welding power supply, an incessant wire-fed electrode, and similar equipment utilized in MGA [metal active gas] welding. It occurs without or with shielding gas and is economical and productive compared to MAG welding. Owing to the penetrative properties and high deposition rates, the process is useful in welding over contaminated materials or outdoor welding. It does not require external shielding gas to protect t

MIG [metal inert gas] welding is a process wherein a nonstop solid wire electrode is supplied through a welding gun and then into the weld pool, joining the two core materials together. Shielding gas is sent through the gun and guards the pool against contamination.  Welding mild steel practices Push vs. pull: The forehand or push technique entails pushing the welding gun away from the weld puddle. Pushing typically generates lower penetration and a flatter, wider, bead since the arc force is aimed away from the puddle. Pushing also typically provides a better view and allows for bettering direct wire into the joint. The pull or trailing technique helps the gun point back at the puddle and drag away from the metal deposited. Dragging naturally creates deeper penetration and a narrower bead. Travel angle: It is described as the angle relative to the welding gun in a perpendicular arrangement. Typical welding conditions call for an angle of 5 - 15 degrees. Travel angles further than 20
