Double Pulse Mig Welding on Aluminium, Stainless Steel and Mild Steel
Mig welding on aluminium is now becoming more and more common due to advances in technology in welding machines. While tig welding was generally considered the best for use on aluminium welding, it can now be undertaken very effectively by a mig machine. But bear in mind there may be times when tig is better used, but for the most part the introduction of pulse and double pulse technology will do the job at hand, giving equally good results Read More...

The most commonly used welding processes are arc welding, which uses electrical currents; and gas welding. Not all metals will weld properly, as stainless steel can distort or crack, and alloys can prove tough if the exact chemical composition it is made from, is not known.
Straight and reverse polarity are common terms in welding. Straight polarity Read More...
