By Harry Mcwilliams

Tack welding is employed across the welding and fabrication industry. Even the most simple of welding roles at home will need you to do tack welds. This is one of the mig welding basics that you will need to learn. It is more often than not the foundation for of any weldomng you do.

Tack welding is employed in mig welding, tig welding and arc welding. A tack weld is a little weld that is placed in urgent positions of a project or work piece to hold it prepared keep it square and deter it from warping out of square.

An example of a tack weld would be if you were making a gate out some steel box section. Step 1 would be to chop the steel to the necessary lengths. Then you would lay the 4 lengths of steel on your workbench or onto the floor. You would then employ a square to align the steel into a rectangle and clamp them together.

You would then employ a square to align the steel into a rectangle and clamp them together. The tack welds are placed on all four corners so that it is stayed true and square. These tiny tack welds will when you full weld the steel together, forestall the steel frame from twisting and bend out of square a load more than if you simply started entirely welding it all up. Also tack welds are little so that if you are making a howler you cut and square things up again, it's miles better to grind away a miniscule tack weld vs a giant full weld. When you know the tack weld there are many other mig welding basics that you can do.
