The diverse services we provide make us one of the most outstanding welding companies Luton can offer. Our team have a lot of experience as well as access to equipment to do various types of weld. Whether it is installing decorative or structural metalwork, we can provide the best results. One example of our leading services is completing arc welding.

The Fundamentals

There are many different welding methods to choose from. Arc welding is one of the most common. It uses a power supply and electrode to create an arc of current that can be used to heat up metal. It is a technique that is useful for joining two parts together. A third element can also be used create the metallurgical bond.

One thing to keep in mind is that, because the welded area is a mix of the metals, it leaves the section with the potential to be as strong as the rest of the material. Non fusion processes such as soldering will not leave the joint with the same properties as the base material.

Voltage And Current

Two important things to think about with arc welding are the voltage and current. The first is determined by the length of the arc. The current on the other hand relates to the heat output. It is important to get both correct to ensure successful welding.

A crucial thing is to get the right power source. Constant current supplies are the best option and can remain consistent even if the voltage varies. This is important because it can be tricky to hold the electrode steady when working. This means the arc and the voltage can fluctuate.

Charge

Another thing to think about is the nature of the charge. An electrode can be either positive or negative. Surprisingly a positive charge will have higher heat concentration. As a result the weld penetration will increase and welding will be much quicker. If the charge is negative the weld will be shallower.
