The History of Welding | MillerWelds
WEBApr 21, 2020 — This was the beginning of carbon arc welding. Benardos restricted his efforts to carbon arc welding, although he was able to weld iron as well as lead. Carbon arc welding became popular during the late 1890s and early 1900s. 1890. In 1890, C.L. Coffin of Detroit received the first U.S. patent for an arc welding process using a metal electrode.

MIG Welding: The Basics for Mild Steel - MillerWelds
WEBJun 1, 2010 — MIG welding is an arc welding process in which a continuous solid wire electrode is fed through a welding gun and into the weld pool, joining the two base materials together. A shielding gas is also sent through the welding gun and protects the weld pool from contamination. In fact, MIG stands for metal inert gas.
Stick Weld Setting Calculator | MillerWelds
WEBThe E-7014 electrodes are all right for welding mild and low alloy steels. Weld beads are smooth with fine ripples. Penetration is low to medium which is good for poor fit-up jobs. The end view of fillet welds tends to be flat to slightly convex. The slag is easily removed, self-cleaning in many cases.

Guide to Pulsed MIG Welding in Manufacturing | MillerWelds
WEBFeb 2, 2017 — Operators should keep the following tips in mind for pulsed MIG welding: Choose the right gas: Be aware that different base materials and transfer modes require different shielding gas blends. • Carbon steels — Pulsing and spray transfer typically require a minimum argon content of 80%.
WEBArc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld. Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc rays and sparks when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1
