Tuesday, June 28, 2011


MIG welders can be useful tools to connect two metal surfaces together. MIG welder required careful operation due to involve gas, fire and electricity. That may seem like a dangerous combination, but with proper care, a MIG welder can be safely utilized.
The steps needed for operating a MIG welder.
Before use MIG welder, wear personal protective equipment like welding gloves, welding helmet, hearing and eye protection wear to protect from sparks of MIG welder can easily burn or blind instantly. Protective eyewear because of the light alone that comes from the welding is dangerous to look at without protection. If possible, get a helmet that automatically darkens when the MIG welder is operating.
Adjust the tip voltage to the proper setting. The tip voltage determines how deep your welding will penetrate the surface you are working on. If your setting is too low, you will only create melting on the surface. If the setting is too high, you might put a hole in your material.
Set the feed rate of the MIG welder. The feed rate controls gas you let the welder expunge depending on the material you are working with, the feed rate may need to be adjusted higher or lower.
Zigzag patterns are the best way to create a good weld because they do not allow the arc to stay in one place too long. If it does, the arc can destroy your material rather than weld it.
