An all-encompassing handbook focuses on today's dominant welding process, gas metal arc welding or, as it is often referred to, MIG welding Lincoln Electric has published a comprehensive, 96-page GMAW Welding Guide.
This all-encompassing handbook focuses on today's dominant welding process, gas metal arc welding (GMAW) or as it is often referred to, MIG welding and gives the latest technical developments.
Despite this joining process' 60-year history, research and development continue to provide improvements to the process, resulting in higher quality results.
This guide gives insight into these improvements, as well as provides consumers with an in-depth look at the MIG welding process and its applications.
Readers will also find technical data and direction, providing them with the opportunity to optimize the operation of the MIG process and all of its variants.
The guide kicks off with a definition and history of the MIG process, along with its advantages, benefits and limitations.
It continues with detail on the following.
* Modes of metal transfer.
* Components of the welding arc.
* List of appropriate shielding gases.
* Advanced welding processes for MIG.
* An overview of GMAW equipment, guns and accessories.
* An in-depth look at the MIG welding of carbon and low alloy steels, stainless steels and aluminum alloys.
* Procedure Guidelines for general welding practices, as well as STT II welding and rapid-arc welding.
* Glossary of related welding terms and a section on safety procedures.
* Discussion of proper arc welding safety precautions.
The Lincoln Electric Company, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, is the world leader in the design, development and manufacture of arc welding products, robotic arc-welding systems, plasma and oxy-fuel gas cutting equipment and has a leading global position in the brazing and soldering alloys market.
