What are Welders?

 

Welding is the fabrication process in which two pieces of metal are fused together seamlessly. By using high heat as designated, the welding process will melt the metals together then allow them to cool which causes fusion. 

 

 

In order to perform the welding process, you require a welding machine or so-called welders that are able to generate heat that melts metal parts. Nowadays, welders/welding machinery is one of the most common and essential tools for steel structure fabrication work.

 

There are a few types of welders/welding machines that are commonly available for rental as below:

  1. MIG – Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) – Uses a continuous solid wire electrode that is heated and fed into the weld pool from a welding gun.
  2. TIG – Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) – Uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to heat up and melt the base metal.
  3. Stick – Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) – Uses a consumable and protected electrode that melts together with its protective cover to shield the weld area from other gases.
  4. Flux- Cored Arc Welding - Uses a wire electrode that is constantly fed, though it doesn't need a shielding gas. The flux-cored wire shields the arc instead.

Here is a simple guide to choosing the best Welder for your needs.

Step 1: Determine the type of welding process.

There are 4 common types of the welding process as above mentioned. . Deciding the type of metal from the chart below will help you choose the welding process required.

 

 

Step 2: Choose a reasonable current range.

 

As a rule of thumb, According to Miller Electric, you need one amp of power for every one-hundredth inch of mild steel thickness.

 

Converted to SI Units, you roughly need one amp of power for every 0.255 mm of mild steel thickness.

 

Calculate accordingly and make sure you choose a current range that covers all possible metal thicknesses for your work.

 

Step 3: Decide the location you will be welding.

 

Normally, if you are welding indoors, these are the power supplies provided in these areas:

  1. Residential or Commercial – 110/120 Volts AC
  2. Industrial – 220/240 Volts AC
  3. Heavy Industrial – Single Phase (Up to 230 Volts AC) and Three Phase (Up to 415 Volts AC)

 

If you are welding outdoors, you are usually Generator for the power source. You can rent it here as well! Otherwise, you may look for diesel engine welders.

 

Once all these 3 steps are set, you are ready to select your Welder!
