Power Sources
A welding power supply provides an electric current for welding. A constant current (CC) machine varies output voltage to maintain a steady current, while a constant voltage (CV) machine fluctuates output current to maintain a set voltage. Shielded metal arc…
Estimating Total Welding Costs

Keeping your welding costs low goes far beyond buying the lowest priced wire available. You must analyze how welding processes that increase deposition rate and increase productivity will reduce the largest component of welding costs – your labor and overhead. Here’s how to do it.
