MILLER & HOBART, FOR A REFRESHING CHANGE, LETS SEE SOME REAL WORLD WELD FACTS & PRACTICAL WELD DATA. MEANWHILE, I HOPE THE FOLLOWING HELPS. I wish weld equip. & wire mfgs. would complete their sentences when they try to justify the purchase of costly weld equip. & metal cored wires Below you see a costly Miller power source a Tregaskiss gun and Hobart Cored wire package that states it delivers 30% MORE. The question any weld shop should always ask as I have mentioned before is, MORE THAN WHAT? For gods sake Miller / Hobart, talk about wire feed rates & the weld deposition rates attained with common stl. thickness & suitable applications. Also many end users are not aware if you are talking about Manual or Automated welds. Assuming its automation, actual wire feed, deposition & travel rates would reveal to weld shop professionals any real world production benefits that would then justify this costly package, & the ongoing use of costly metal cored wires. WELD SHOPS THIS IS WHAT YOU COULD ACHIEVE WITH YOUR EXISTING WELD EQUIPMENT AND "LOW COST MIG WIRES". With your much lower cost, regular, no frills, >350 amp MIG equipment and low cost 0.045 GMA stl. wires, it's a simple task to deliver 13-15 lb. W F >500 inch/min with horizontal 1/4 (6 -7 mm) fillets. And on the same welds that are automated, 15-16 lb./hr & if you extend the wire stick out a little, you can easily add 1 to 2 extra pounds per hour. So the bottom line is those weld shops using automation could if they knew what they were doing, easily attain 16 - 17 lb/hr with low cost GMA equip & low cost GMA wires in contrast to approx. 19 - 20 lb/hr with the Miller / Tregaskiss / Hobart package. So Hobart & Miller, as you rarely reveal the above data, weld shops now have something to compare to justify the high costs associated with your Miller Power Source and let's not forget the high ongoing costs of the Hobart Metal Cored Wires. In my weld world as the Robot Weld Mgr. for the ABB Robot Comp. many of the welds I set were 16+ lb/hr, & remember you can always increase robot dep. rates delivered each hour by maximizing robot movement efficiency & ensuring welds are not not oversize. By the way, I patented a Cu. Ceramic Contact Tip that without any special equip. or wire delivered 20lb/hr. Today many global weld shops are not aware of their GMA / FCA weld dep. rate potential per-common application, which as most are aware is a prime influence on weld prod. & weld costs. Its logical before any business considers the purchase of costly new Single or Twin wire GMA weld technology that offers increased robot weld dep. rates, that weld shops would first want to ensure it has employees that understand the GMA process requirements to enable them to maximize their robot / manual prod. potential for all welds. I devoted a section in my Mgt. & Engineers Guide to GMA book, to the requirements with low cost mig wires & any mig equip. to enable up to 20lb/hr. https://lnkd.in/eZ32NKc

One of the most important variables when TIG welding is going to be your arc length. If you get too far away you are going to end up with all kinds of inconsistency in your weld and possible defects, but get too close you will stick your tungsten and leave inclusions.

Welding Wednesday Facts: You've probably heard of MIG and TIG welding... but have you ever heard of 💥Explosion Welding? Around World War I, it was observed that metal shrapnel wasn't just sticking to body armor – it became welded to it from the extreme forces of the explosion! DuPont tested and applied for a patent around explosion welding. Explosion welding joins two metals differently than the traditional welding process. Neither metal is melted in the process; instead, it plasticizes their surfaces and creates a strong surface bond. While explosion welding can be pretty dangerous, it's another interesting example of innovation in welding. #welder #explosionwelding #weldwednesday #manufacturingmonth
