Arc Welding Tech Cell

Welcome to the Arc Welding Tech Cell. Here you will find information on electrodes and wires, fixtures, manipulators, positioners, GMAW/MIG power sources, GTAW/TIG power sources, SMAW/stick power sources, plasma arc welding equipment, resistance welding equipment, and wire feeders.

GMAW guns, consumables, and more: 7 common questions answered

Following a few guidelines when selecting and using GMAW equipment and consumables can help improve productivity and quality in your welding operation.

New year, new welding helmets

Taking a closer look at a few new welding helmets.

SMAW is in session

Welding educators discuss why SMAW still holds a relevant place within their classrooms and in today's high-tech industry.

Juggling the variables of GTAW

Gas tungsten arc welding isn’t the easiest process to learn. With so many things going on at once, GTAW is a little like juggling while riding a unicycle. With practice, the welder’s eye, arm, hand, and foot coordination will improve.

What employers expect from welders

In his inimitable style, Marty Rice shares his thoughts on the welding job market and what today’s employers want from their welders. He also gives examples of some deficiencies employers are seeing.
