How Do You Decide What Welding Process To Learn If You Want To Start Welding As A Hobby?
People weld for many reasons. Some people start as a hobby, doing things like building yard art, mopeds, practical shop equipment or repairing things around the house. With modern welding equipment, this rewarding and useful hobby can be in anyones reach. There are four basic processes of welding that are in use today. Oxyacetylene welders use a flame to melt the metal and form the weld pool. An welding rod must be fed into the molten weld pool to fill the weld. A stick welder uses an electrical arc to generate heat and a flux to help fuse the metal in a process known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). A stick welder uses the electrode as the filler material. The MIG welder, also know as a gas metal arc welder (GMAW) also uses an electrical arc to generate the welding heat and a shielding gas to protect the weld pool. The weld filler material is delivered via a wire feeder. A TIG Welder generates the electrical arc using a Tungsten electrode, with a shielding gas while a welding rod
