MIG welding is one of the easiest forms of welding, but then it needs practice to get a good hand at this form of welding. With the right equipment and the required experience you could carry out one of the finest welds with the help of this MIG welding plant.
MIG welding is basically used to join aluminum and other sheet metals generally softer metals. You could use MIG welding where you may not need high penetration power and to weld sheets with a thickness of around one eight of an inch. If you are planning for larger thickness sheets it would be advisable to go ion for the plant that will support 230 volts. If it is commercial welding, then go in for a plant with high amps something greater than 200 amps.
MIG stands for metal inert gas welding. The name is derived from the welding that is done using inert gas as a shield to protect the weld pool and this also acts as a flux for the welding object.
When making use of stick welding, the flux is there on the stick or the filler rod, in this case the shield is provided by the inert gas.
It was once felt that welding plants are quite costly and that to have a welding plant for personal use is beyond one’s reach. This is not true as on date as one can buy a MIG welding plant for a few hundred dollars, if one is going to use this plant only occasionally, if you are ready to spare a bit more you can go in for better equipment that will be quite useful to have around that house and you are likely to the neighborhood favorite.
When doing welding with a MIG plant, the filler wire if being fed by the wire feeder. What you are likely to hold will be something like an alligator clip, and this is to be brought close to the welding zone. For thicker metals that are within the range of your plant, you could do with a bit of pre heating. Pre heating should not cross 250 degree F when you are making use of the smaller plant that is not meant for commercial use.
If you are going to plug it in your house hold socket, one important point that you need to remember is that change the rating of your fuse, otherwise you are likely to blow your fuse every often. It can be learned also by experience.
If you are using the MIG welding plant for the first time without the help of a guide, you are likely to make a hole in your sheet / weld job. But take my advice, don’t give up, with a few more holes, you are likely to become a better welder than when you started off first.

It won't be easy. But, if the school where you take the welding classes is legitimate, they will have a program to help you find a job. If they don't have such a program, don't take classes there.
As someone who was active duty for 8 yrs. and 2 reserves, welding itself is not a rate but used in rates such as hull techs, launch and recovery technician and others. Usually an individual is picked to go to the navy welding class for 2-3 weeks based on the commands needs. If you get a four year degree you could get into the officer program. As far as just having college credits may give you a higher pay rate but not necessarily a job as a welder.
Where are these jobs. union?
try to talk to friends and ask them if they can help you out…
they may know some people who can help you with your business

Hand welders are in demand. They work in factories, construction sites, ship yards etc. The difficulty is doing the job correctly and getting the training for it. If bad welds show up or are missed the welder is quickly dismissed.
Weld operators is the least technical of the welders. They place parts in fixtures which clamp other parts together. A mig robot will automatically quickly weld the parts and when done the operator will quickly remove and inspect the part. If the part is good the part will be packed for shipment. If bad welds are found the operator will mark the bad weld and place it on a rack where a hand welder will later reweld the bad spots.
At one time this operator job was the entry level job for welding. However with the decline in the automotive market, there are fewer openings. Plus the demands on the operators have increased including quotas and the quality demands to not miss bad welds.
welders are buildn america !!!P1P3WLDR.
One of the highest paid of all jobs in this country are those who weld underwater! Temps underwater are always on the coldish side – and you will always be wet from the water and not sweat. You will have to really master both welding and scuba diving to survive, and even if you are the best of the best in the field there is danger involved in this career (it is the reason for the high pay, however).
actually well it's not about women but Hard Working Man by Brooks and Dunn.
so are u enjoying it, was it worth it
Advertise in the local news paper, place notes on bulletin boards, word of mouth, set up a shop with a sign out front, a sign on the side of your truck. These are good places to start. It all takes time to build.
Good luck. Look at this.
