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.

When starting out with Shielded Metal Arc Welding, also known as Stick Welding, striking an arc is the first challenge to overcome. If you're wondering how to keep your rod from sticking, check out the tips in this video. https://lnkd.in/eTMiyCmb  Link:  https://lnkd.in/dQB-D8zD

🔧 Welding Tip of the Day: Practice Good Arc Length! Keeping a consistent arc length, about the same as the diameter of your electrode, is key to a strong weld. Too long? You'll get spatter and a weaker weld. Too short? You risk sticking. Balance is everything! 💥 #weldingtips #ptti #skilledtrades #welding

For anyone doubting if laser welding has the power to get penetration on stainless steel, Austin found out just how many A's are too many when testing how TIG welding and Laser welding compare. Watch the full video on YouTube https://foxly.link/lTgJTI

Step #4 Welding: Submerged Arc Welding: Circumference Welds Road sections are welded at both their inner and outer diameters. This confirms that the welds achieve full penetration. Full penetration is critical to ensuring the absence of any built-in weaknesses. The sections are welded together prior to forming as doing so eliminates the possibility of high and low spots commonly seen on other manufacturer’s products.
