Don’t worry too much about how your welds look at first:
* While you’re improving electrode control, you’ll be learning more about different welding job situations.
* Plus I’ll tell you WHY it’s important to have good rod control.
* After you read these tips, THEN you can practice your welding rod control techniques.
* Whether you swing a golf club or a bat, if you don’t practice in correct ways, the results can be at least EMBARRASSING!

Let’s talk about arc pressure and gravity:
1) Arc pressure is produced by the voltage from the machine as it’s pushing the molten metal outwardly.
2) The pressure will vary depending on machine settings, rod size, & the amount of arc gap.
3) Gravity not only effects the direction of the molten metal, but also it’s going to try to make your puddle drip.
4) If you’re arc welding in a flat position, you mainly just worry about keeping the rod at right angles to the work-pieces, & tilted away from the puddle, to help control the puddle & the slag. (And that will help you to SEE THE PUDDLE!).
5) If you’re going to weld in a vertical position, you need to aim the arc up-ward to preheat the metal & to help keep the puddle from dripping.
6) At the same time, in vertical welding, you no longer need to worry about slag, because gravity is keeping it out of the way.
7) For horizontal positions it’s a lot the same. Gravity will try to drip the weld, so you aim the arc upwardly.
For overhead jobs you keep the rod nearly straight up for the same reasons. You don’t want to do any weaving in overhead welding, instead just use straight “stringer” beads.

Pipe welding:
* Pipe welding is rather unique, in that it involves all positions as you go around it. You will gain real electrode control experience in pipe welding!
* Horizontal welding on pipe can be tricky too, because you need to keep changing the rod angle as you go around.
* Save overhead welding practice for last. Get used to ELECTRODE CONTROL & amp settings in the easier welding positions first.

General tips:
* Learn to keep the arc length as steady as possible, plus keep the rod angle steady.
* Weld in a straight a line. This helps to give your welds to look better, and to give them more strength.
* Use both hands to steady the rod. Either place both hands on the rod holder, or one hand on the rod itself, until it gets too short (or until the rod gets too hot).
* Work on a steady speed to keep a uniform puddle shape. An oval shape is good, but don’t let it get too pointed. A round shape may be too wide, unless you need a wider or heavier bead for the job you’re doing. You’ll soon be able to judge that your welding speed is right for the job size & situation.
* Finding a good amperage setting for the job at hand, will help you to concentrate on getting a good weld, & not be fighting sticking rods, or having the rod burn through the work-piece.
* Learn to hesitate slightly at the start of your welds to ensure that the “puddle” forms sufficiently.
* Also pause a bit, at each side of the bead, when you’re doing a weave weld, to make sure there is good penetration.

REMEMBER, Don’t worry too much about how your welds look at first! Now start practicing!

Joel Ort of Miller Electric Mfg. Co. shares his tips for MIG welding success. Placing the focus on MIG technique, Ort’s useful comments are applicable for many garage applications involving farm and automotive repairs. Topics include: simple setup, butt joints, T-joints, lap joints and horizontal, vertical and overhead welding positions.

Brazing is an effective thermal joining process commonly used in engineering. It is often preferred over other process like welding. Brazing can join almost all the metals and alloys. In this process, a molten brazing alloy is drawn into a capillary gap between the metals being joined. Many forms of brazing alloys are used for fulfilling this requirement. Brazing rods are perhaps the most popular forms of brazing alloys used world over by professionals.

What is a Brazing Rod?

Brazing rod is a piece of metal in the shape of a rod. It melts during the brazing process and attaches to the separate pieces of metals in order to join them together once cooled.

What are the Metals Used for Making Brazing Rods?

Brazing process has the ability to join different metals and components of dissimilar size and mass. However, for this, the perfect form of brazing alloy (filler metal which melts above 450˚C but below the temperatures at which metals being joined melt) has to be present. Therefore, brazing rods have to be made from different metals like aluminum, silver, steel, bronze etc.

What is Flux Coated Brazing Rod?

There are many types of brazing processes which are conducted in different atmospheres. In the one which is not contained within an inert or reducing atmosphere environment (for example a furnace,) flux is needed to prevent oxides from forming when the metal is heated. Not only this, flux also cleans up any contamination that is left on the brazing surfaces. Flux too comes in various forms like flux paste, liquid, powder or pre-made brazing pastes that combine flux with filler metal powder. Sometimes, flux is applied to brazing rods either in the form of a coating of flux or a flux core. This flux flows into the joint when the brazing rod is applied to the heated joint and is displaced by the molten filler metal entering the joint.
