There are various welding machines that you can buy and use in your home safely. Besides the commercial application of welding skills, there are various practical uses for welding equipment around the home. Here is a simple guide to choosing the best welders.
There are three basic types of welding machines, MIG welding, Stick welding and TIG welding
TIG welder
The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding uses a non-consumable electrode, shielding gas and a filler material to weld non-ferrous alloy parts and steel strips. The amount of heat produced is controlled by the welder. The TIG welder produces sleek finishes and strong welds. However, it is quite a lengthy and complicated process, best suited for people with a little more experience in handling welding machines.
MIG welder
The Gas Metallic Arc Welding uses a wire feeding technical to create weld joints. It is one of the most convenient welding methods and easiest to master to produce high quality weld. MIG welders are able to perform well in dusty weather and coarse dirty metals. You should choose this kind of welder for construction work.
Stick welding
You can operate stick welders both indoors, outdoors and in windy weather conditions. It is the best to use for rusty and low quality metal alloys and it is the most widely used welding methods in homes and metalwork shops. Stick welders use an electric current flowing from a gap between the joint and welding stick. It needs a bit of training to gain expertise but once you learn how to do it, it is the best welder for hobbyists and domestic metal works.
