When Metal Cored Wire Outperforms Flux Cored Welding Wire
Beyond minimising hydrogen-related weld defects and reducing rework, seamless metal cored wires offer all the efficiency benefits of a quality metal wire.
Storage of Flux and Metal Cored Wires
Following the manufacturers’ guidelines on storage and handling of welding wire is important to keep them in a usable condition. We also cover general advice on storage of wire spools, wire packaging, and what to do with compromised wires.
Source Capture Fume Extraction Explained
Many weld fume extraction solutions are far from the source. Source capture fume extraction focuses on the most concentrated areas for greater impact.
Buyers Guide to Choosing a Welding Helmet
Choosing a welding helmet that suits the user improves safety, comfort and weld quality. The biggest gain will be a happier, more productive welder.
Combatting issues when welding in cold, damp conditions
Cold, damp atmosphere; cold, damp steel. Moisture is a warning sign for welders. Let's explore how to combat issues when welding in adverse conditions.
Revealed: Often Overlooked Fact when Reducing Welding Costs
The biggest cost in welding is the wage of the one holding the torch. Using their time efficiently is fundamental to minimising your operational costs.
The Worth of an Integrated PAPR Welding Helmet
Safe Work Australia slashes acceptable workplace welding fume limit by 80%: Let's look at how this could impact the New Zealand welding industry.
Reduce Welding Costs Using Larger Diameter Welding Wire

Synergic Control in MIG Welding Machines Explained
Synergic control in a MIG welding machine is a machine that automatically sets the welding parameters according to wire type and shielding gas.
Heat Input – Advanced Control in Welding Application
Heat input is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of a weld due to its formative effect on the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and weld metal properties, particularly mechanical toughness, and development of potential flaws.
Industry 4.0 – Data Management in Welding
Digitizing data, the downloading, sharing, and analyzing of it is a cornerstone of Industry 4.0. What does that mean for welding workshops?
