Pick one by answering four questions.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Which process?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ARC (stick):<\/strong> simple, low running cost, works outdoors and on rusty or painted steel. The usual choice for fabrication and repair.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MIG:<\/strong> fast and clean on sheet metal and production work; needs wire and shielding gas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>TIG:<\/strong> neat, precise welds on stainless steel and thin metal; slower and needs more skill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. How much current?<\/h2>\n<p>Current (amps) decides the electrode size and metal thickness. A 200 A ARC machine handles the common 2.5 mm and 3.15 mm electrodes used in gates, grills and frames. Heavier sections and 4 mm electrodes need more.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Duty cycle<\/h2>\n<p>The duty cycle (for example 60% at 200 A) tells how many minutes out of ten the machine can weld at that current before it must cool. For long continuous welding, choose a higher duty cycle.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Power supply<\/h2>\n<p>Check what is available where you will weld: single-phase 230 V or three-phase 415 V. Machines with a wide input voltage range cope better with low or fluctuating supply on sites.<\/p>\n<h2>Safety and accessories<\/h2>\n<p>Budget for a welding helmet (auto-darkening is easiest), leather gloves, and the right electrodes. Weld in a ventilated place and keep fire away from sparks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARC, MIG \u0a95\u0ac7 TIG; \u0a95\u0ab0\u0a82\u0a9f \u0a85\u0aa8\u0ac7 \u0aa1\u0acd\u0aaf\u0ac1\u0a9f\u0ac0 \u0ab8\u0abe\u0aaf\u0a95\u0ab2; \u0ab8\u0abf\u0a82\u0a97\u0ab2 \u0a95\u0ac7 \u0aa5\u0acd\u0ab0\u0ac0 \u0aab\u0ac7\u0a9d. \u0a87\u0aa8\u0acd\u0ab5\u0ab0\u0acd\u0a9f\u0ab0 \u0ab5\u0ac7\u0ab2\u0acd\u0aa1\u0abf\u0a82\u0a97 \u0aae\u0ab6\u0ac0\u0aa8 \u0ab2\u0ac7\u0aa4\u0abe \u0aaa\u0ab9\u0ac7\u0ab2\u0abe \u0ab6\u0ac1\u0a82 \u0aa4\u0aaa\u0abe\u0ab8\u0ab5\u0ac1\u0a82.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1812","alfa_guide","type-alfa_guide","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amtkanodar.com\/gu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alfa_guide\/1812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amtkanodar.com\/gu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alfa_guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amtkanodar.com\/gu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/alfa_guide"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amtkanodar.com\/gu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
