What is Welding?

A weld is a fabrication process that combines materials that are common metals or thermoplastics by fusion. These fusing materials are different from other kinds of lowertemperature metal-joining techniques like

soldering, which do not melt the base metal. This fusion of two pieces in metals is to create one solid continuous piece.

Listed below are the 10 "Must Have" Welding Tools and Equipment for Beginners:

1) Auto-darkeningWelding Helmet

"Protect your vision with Blinding Lights"

Protection from dangerous light emissions to any pre-selected shade in milliseconds. This makes it easier for welders to see clearly while permitting constant work and reducing unnecessary stopand-start time.

2) Welding Gloves

"Protect your precious hands from those nasty sparks."

Protection from electric shock, flames, sharp or flying metal, hot parts, etc, needs great care. Proper gloves are the first line of defense against such accidents. A few are used to protect just your fingers and palms, while others are used to protect the entire hand.

3) WeldarcWelding Holders

"Hold them electrodes in any postion"

Also known as an Electrode Holder or a Stinger, is a clamping device for holding the electrode securely in any position. The design of a Welding Holder allows quick and smooth electrode exchange. Two such types of electrodes are insulated and non-insulated electrodes.

4) Bernard BTBMig Guns or Air-Cooled Torches

"Best Tool for your welding needs."

Small and large-sized torch with a lot of power that is needed to cool down the water if you need to weld for any length of time. The use of the torch works miraculously during the welding process in a remote location or in a place where you have no access to water.

5) BohlerFlux-Cored Wires

"A necessary welding accessory for those thicker joints"

This welding tool offers greater perception which is a great choice for working with thicker joints. Flux core allows the welder to travel in all directions and holds the torch in several other different directions. It does not require a high skill level to perform, so you're well suited for the same even if you're a beginner.

6) HobartStick Electrodes

"A great accessory for field welding repair work"

Self-shielded electrodes that do not need to pull in a gas cylinder, regulator, or hose provided enough protection of the weld bead in outdoor applications where the wind stops with shielding gases. The use of a stick electrode is a great option for field repair.

7) WeldarcEarth Clamps

"Earth Clamps makes sure that the electrical circuit is closed"

A tool makes sure that the electrical circuit is closed between the welding power source and the piece that needs to be weld. The Earth clamp and the cables are connected to the electrode holder clamp and the earth clamp that allows an electrical connection between the power source and the base material.

8) WeldarcWelding Cables

"A Top-Notch ElectricConductor"

Choosing the right size welding cable is to know more about the current levels, no matter if you are a beginner or an expert with welding. It basically is an electric conductor that carries a current with a combination of fine copper and rubber, allowing the cable to be even more flexible during rough times.

9) Chipping Hammer

"An important lightweight concrete breaker"

Lightweight concrete breakers that can be positioned easily to break vertical and overhead surfaces offer a controlled chipping action with chipping hammers for an accurate chip for particular areas. They are managed by holding a handle at the back of the tools and seeing the tool by the shaft.

10) Soapstone

"Mark your waythrough extreme temperatures"

A very easy welding consumable that is used to create temporary marking and they do not burn at extreme temperatures. They're basically sedimentary rock with different concentrations of micas, carbonates, pyroxenes.

Welding Conclusion

If you're a welder but don't possess the right instruments, you're sure going to have a very hard task clamping workpiece down, having precise measurements in making the right decision in cutting hardy materials. Know your Welding Tools & Equipment, before you get loose with them.
