Welcome to the world's largest web site on MIG , Flux Cored and TIG. Weld Process Controls & Best Weld Practices. To get to the root cause of GMAW (MIG) & Flux Cored (FCAW) weld issues, requires Weld Process Control - Best Practice Expertise, & lots of Weld Reality. The site provides the MIG - Flux Cored and TIG weld information and data required to attain the highest possible manual and robot weld quality, always at the lowest possible weld costs.

This web site was first established in 1997 by Ed Craig. Contact Ed. ecraig@weldreality.com

 

Written by Ed who is now Emily Craig.


The best way how to control spatter is produce it and then
show the welders how to eliminate it with the weld controls.



Some of Em's Welding Projects.

 

Ed Craig now Emily Craig. has established optimum weld quality - productivity on over a thousand manual / robot applications in 13 different countries. The following are typical samples of the weld applications Ed has worked on.
