What is micro welding?

Micro welding is the name given to the process that has evolved from traditional TIG welding (or more recently termed GTAW), using the technology of electric current being applied to the workpiece to generate heat at the point of the arc gap.

How does micro welding work?

Thermocompression Micro Welding: When a very finely controlled energy is applied to this electrode the tip heats up for the duration of the weld. This allows for the piece being welded to heat up without conduction or having energy passed through. This process is common for welding small coated or magnet wires.

What is micro TIG welding?

Microscopic Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding is a welding process that utilizes a microscope with 40X magnification and a specialized microscopic TIG torch for micro-precision welding. This welding process is ideal for small, intricate welds that cannot be performed using normal TIG welding processes.

What causes lamellar tearing?

Lamellar Tear is caused by Tensile Stress in Through-Thickness direction. This comes from the shrinkage of the weld and the base metal itself has impurities or inclusions that are parallel to the work surface Thus causing a tear or crack Lamellar Tearing up.

How small can you weld?

What is the thinnest metal you can stick weld? With some experience, you can stick weld 3/32″ (2.4mm) mild steel with acceptable results. A welder with a lot of knowledge about heat control can stick weld down to 1/16″ (1.6mm) thin metal or even less.

Can I weld inside?

It is generally a bad idea to weld indoors. Master welders avoid welding in enclosed spaces until it is an absolute emergency. Most rooms in most houses are totally not suitable for welding jobs. So, unless you can set up space properly you should refrain from trying to weld indoors.
