Common Welding Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

May 7, 2025

Whether you’re just getting started or you’re a golden arm, every welding job can bring the opportunity for mistakes and slip-ups. Here are the top few things to watch out for.
What is Gas Tungsten Arc Welding or TIG Welding?

April 11, 2025

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), or Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process made by using a tungsten electrode. Tungsten is an ideal choice because it will not melt away during the welding process, while still conducting electricity well. Its high melting point makes it very useful in this type of welding, which can reach temperatures over 6,000°F.

What is Gas Metal Arc Welding or MIG Welding?

April 11, 2025

At M&M Certified Welding, our Cleveland welding services include an array of techniques, including gas metal arc welding, often referred to by the abbreviation GMAW. This style of welding may also be called metal inert gas (MIG) or metal active gas (MAG) welding, depending on the type of shielding gas that the welder uses. Gas metal arc welding originated in the late 1940s and was originally...
What is Carbon Arc Welding?

April 11, 2025

Carbon arc welding (CAW) was one of the first arc-welding processes that was developed, and while it is still used today, other variations predominate in various markets and applications. The process of carbon arc welding involves the heating of a non-consumable carbon or graphite electrode and a work piece. The welder is looking to form a bond between two separate pieces of metal, as is true with...

February 26, 2025

There are many ways to achieve strong, joined metal, with the various forms of welding being the most commonly known. There is another technique that is less widely known, yet offers unique benefits for its many applications. This technique is called brazing.
HOW BRAZING WORKS
Brazing is done by melting a filler metal between 2 pieces of base metal in a tight joint, with the filler metal...
Using Aluminum for your Welding Project

February 26, 2025

Aluminum is widely used in a range of industries, including construction and automotive production, where it is typically welded. As a corrosion-resistant material that is lightweight and durable, it is ideal for many applications.
However, its natural properties can make it more difficult to weld. For instance, aluminum has a melting point that is roughly half that of steel, and is a high thermal...
What Is Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)?

February 26, 2025

Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) is known commonly by several other names, including manual metal arc welding, flux-shielded arc welding, and stick welding. This welding process utilizes a consumable electrode coated in flux to join metals together. It was developed between the 19th and 20th century, eventually becoming the technique we know today.
SMAW or stick welding is the most commonly used...
What is Flux Cored Arc Welding?

July 8, 2024

Even if you’re familiar with gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) - there’s a chance you might not have heard of flux cored arc welding (FCAW). FCAW, sometimes referred to as “dual shield welding”, was first developed in the 1950s as a welding system that functions through a continuously fed wire electrode. FCAW overcomes restrictions that are...

M&M is my former employer. To this day, I still send people to this shop. As well as keep in contact with the owner, Matt, and stop up from time to time. I learned the most from this shop, lots of good memories. They are by far, the best and most skilled group of welders I've ever worked with.

My Catalytic converter was stolen off of my motorhome and M&M was willing to create something to prevent additional theft of my new converter. It's cheaper to pay for the protection now then to pay for another deductible. Everyone was friendly and willing to help.
