Best Plasma cutters come in handy as they allow you to cut through electrically conductive materials like aluminum, stainless steel, etc. All because of an ionized gas or plasma which is applied at 20,000 degrees Celsius. As you already know, plasma cutters have a wide range of applications.Over the years, these cutters have become smaller and powerful as ever. They have now become compact and can be used in various fields such as civil service construction,  job shops, ranching, etc. In this blog post, we aim to create an ultimate…

What is Welding? Welding is a sculptural or fabrication process that is used to join materials such as thermoplastics or metals. They use high amounts of heat to melt the parts that join together on cooling. This is called fusion where the two pieces become one. Besides melting the base material like the metal or thermoplastic a filler material is also added to the joint. This molten pool or weld pool then cools and weld configuration or a butt, fillet or full penetration is achieved. This is usually stronger than…

Best Soldering Irons are the bonding of two items using a material called solder. The solder melts when heated and then applied to a joint between two objects. The most basic form of soldering tool is the soldering iron with a docking station to rest it.This keeps the tip clean. Usually, a 15 to 50-watt soldering iron with the station is sufficient. A rosin core solder comes in various diameters are used. The solder is made of an alloy – 60% tin and 40% lead. There is alead-free solder for…
