How To Weld Metal For Beginners. Depending on the thickness of the metal the angle of welding can be changed. That way you will prevent oxidation from happening and reduce the heat input at the same time.
MIG welding is often known as Gas Metal Arc Welding or wire welding which is the colloquial term for it. But it has a twofold use as it improves the quality of the welding. To accommodate the welding well the angle should change among 0 to 15 degrees.
Welders perform stick welding by creating an electric arc between the workpiece and metal electrode.
The joint is filled with filler metal at the same time to make the weld stronger. If you so wish you may also generate some patterns and decorations at this stage. The electric current that goes through the electrode melts it so that a weld pool is formed on the workpiece. Ideally the weld bead should be slightly crowned with the toes or edges of the bead flowing nicely into the base metal.
