About WeldingProcess Guide
WeldingProcess Guide is an independent technical resource for industrial welding professionals. We publish evidence-based guidance for defect diagnosis, shielding gas selection, and process optimization — designed for welders and engineers who want clarity, not guesswork.
What Makes Us Different
- Answer-first format: Every page opens with the practical conclusion. No scrolling through background theory to find what you need.
- Evidence-based claims: Technical assertions are backed by ISO/AWS references, independent test results, and documented standards — not opinion.
- Honest product reviews: Our product pages include both proven strengths and genuine limitations. We don't hide trade-offs.
- Multilingual: Full content in English, German, and Spanish — written in proper technical language for each market.
Who This Is For
- Welding operators troubleshooting defects on the shop floor
- Welding engineers making gas and process decisions
- Fabrication shop owners evaluating shielding gas options
- Quality inspectors diagnosing root causes of weld defects
- Welding students learning mechanism-based troubleshooting
Editorial Standards
Every published page follows this process:
- Research current standards — ISO 14175, AWS D1.1, DIN EN norms, and independent test data
- Structure answer-first — The practical conclusion appears in the opening paragraph
- Cite sources — Verifiable references marked as [S1], [S2], etc.
- Include honest limitations — Every product recommendation includes "not suitable for" scenarios
- Regular verification — Pages are reviewed and updated with "Last verified" dates
For the full editorial approach, see our Methodology page.
Independence
WeldingProcess Guide operates independently. Product reviews are based on technical data, published test results, and documented standards — not advertising budgets. When a product has limitations, we state them clearly.
We believe the best welding guidance is the most honest welding guidance. That means recommending the right product for the application, even when cheaper alternatives exist, and flagging genuine trade-offs that marketing materials may omit.
Coverage
We currently cover:
- Troubleshooting Guides — Porosity, spatter, lack of fusion, cracking, undercut, discoloration, and more
- Product Reviews — Linde shielding gas products (CORGON®, CRONIGON®, VARIGON®, ALUGON®, FORMIER®, and more)
- Gas Science — Argon properties, CO₂ dissociation, helium effects, mix theory, flow dynamics
- Process Guides — MIG/MAG fundamentals, TIG technique, transfer modes, positional welding
