Pulse welding – Mig pulsed welder

  Pulsed MIG May Solve Aluminum Fabrication Problems — Q&A Q: What’s the difference between spray transfer and pulsed spray transfer? A: Pulsed spray transfer, commonly called pulsed MIG, puts less heat into the work yet maintains many benefits of spray transfer, such as good fusion, high deposition rates and/or fast travel speeds. In pulsed spray transfer, the power source switches between a high peak current and a low background current. The peak current pinches off a spray transfer droplet and propels it toward the weldment. The background current maintains […]

Explain welding

Explain welding? Easy and hard so lets start with the easy. Welding is simply the melting of two adjacent metalic surfaces together such that the molecular structure of each piece intertwines as if it were one contiguous piece of metal. Well that is accoring to Poindexter, at a macro level it is simply melting two bits of metal together. On a more complex level welding then breaks into categories based on the type of process, be it TIG, Mig, Arc or Plasma welding. They all do the same as mentioned […]

Welding Helmet – Best welding helmet safety practices

The dangers of el cheapo welding helmets and what can happen when you don’t invest in adequate protection. A flash burn is a painful inflammation of the cornea, which is the clear tissue that covers the front of the eye. A flash burn occurs when you are exposed to bright ultraviolet (UV) light. It can happen in all types of UV light but is a common problem among welders. That’s why it is sometimes called welder’s flash or arc eye. Flash burns are like sunburn in the eye and can […]

Engineering Design, a Quest to success

Quest Engineering  was established in the mid 90’s by a group of roadies that saw an opportunity in the emerging music industry. Over the years a brand was established proving Quest speakers as a work horse. Although the sound was great the look was, well, uninspiring. This is where the relationship began between manufacturer and designer, where from a single speaker re-design a complete design guide and product line redesign was undertaken. The following images captures some of the journey Michael Chijoff Portfolio

Welding Acronyms – Meaning of welding terms.

Arc [Arc Length] – The physical gap between the end of the electrode and the point where the arc makes contact with the base metal. Duty-cycle – As per EN/AS50974.1, the minutes out of a 10-minute period a welder / welding machine can be operated at maximum rated output. For example, a 60% duty cycle @ 300 Amps means that the welding machine can be used for 6 minutes (at 300 Amps) and then must be allowed to cool with the fan running for 4 minutes. This reduces the chance of […]

What is Plasma Cutting?

WHAT IS   PLASMA CUTTING? Plasma cutting is a process that is used to   cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other   materials) using a plasma torch. In this process compressed air is blown at high   speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that   gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to   plasma. The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves   sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away […]

Tig Welding

Tig Welding, Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors […]
