Welcome to the world's only Robot and Manual, Weld Process Controls & Best Weld Practice, Self-Teach / Training Programs. [1] Six Steps to Robot and Manual MIG Weld Optimization. [2] Gas Shielded Flux Cored WeldOptimization.. [3] Advanced TIG and TIP TIG.


WELD PROCESS OWNERSHIP:  Be aware that MIG and flux cored account for approx. 85% of the welds daily produces. For four decades I preached about the common lack of Management & Engineering Weld Process Ownership & Process Control Expertise, that’s common throughout the global weld industry.

  • This industry has for decades relied on a salesman for weld application advice. An industry that allows  personnel to “play around” with 2 MIG weld controls in manual and robot applications.
  • This is an industry in which few front office weld decision makers, understand the quality relevance and cost effectiveness of weld process ownership. An industry in which few understand the real cost of the MIG or flux cored welds they daily produce.


A REFERENCE FROM DANA, A NINE BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR,  TIER ONE SUPPPLIER THAT PRODUCES FORD F-150 FRAMES.  Em. On your first visit to the plant, our robot MIG weld lines were producing less than 40 Ford F-150 truck frames per-hour, and 100 % of the robot welded frames required extensive manual weld rework. 

Thanks to your Six Step Robot MIG Weld Process Control Training program, the robot MIG weld results are now staggering. Yesterday this plant did a record of 76 frames per hour. And in a weld quality audit, for the first time in the history of the Ford F-150 line we achieved a 100% pass.

We have implemented your Six Step program in five of our USA plants. Many thanks from a grateful weld engineer, and from the DANA Corporation, Ryan Good. Weld Eng.

For 30 plus years, in 13 countries, it did not matter what the make of the robot or MIG power source was, when  I provided major robot weld modifications on iconic applications like the Corvette, Ford F-150 Trucks, VW Beetle or Harley bike frames, I  would apply the Weld Process Control data that I developed below in my,  Six Steps To Robot Weld Process Controls,  Self Teach – Training Program.  And no matter what the robot weld quality or productivity issue were, my changes instantly delivered optimum robot weld quality / productivity.

My  Flux Cored Book

  • Optimum Flux Cored and MIG Weld Parameters are made simple with Em's Unique Weld Clock method. This allows you to instantly set, without "playing around" optimum flux cored parameters.


My Flux Cored Power Point Self Teach - Training Program takes about 10 to 12 hours to. learn.

Enables anyone to instantly set and  optimize the weld quality delivered with any gas shielded flux cored weld wire size and, wire type.

  • Many flux cored welds are set at low settings that reduce weld fusion, add to trapped slag. These low settings also add to weld costs from unnecessary low weld deposition rates delivered.
  • Gas shielded flux cored wires are prone to porosity, worm tracks and trapped slag. These defects are dramatically reduced with this program.
  • There are reasons not to use pulsed MIG weld equipment or  Inverter and Multi-purpose GMA equipment with flux cored wires. Learn why this MIG equip. reduces weld fusion and deposition rates.
  • If you are going to work in a ship yard or a  pipe or fabrication shop, and want to with great confidence  pass the all position flux cored welder qualification test, this is the program you need.
  • Say you go for a weld test and the root is ceramic backed, or it's a steel plate backed, will you know the best settings and best weld practices that will minimize weld defects in these areas always prone to weld defects.
  • If you are establishing a flux cored weld qualification, and want to achieve the highest possible weld quality and productivity, all the data and practices required are here.
  • Note: Em. while advising the AWS committee on the development of GMA Weld Specifications, was also was a key advisor to the AWS in the development of Gas Shielded Flux Cored Specifications.

Instant Flux Cored Weld Solutions.

2018: With gas shielded, flux cored weld repair cost overruns of millions of dollars per-ship, and  the too common poor flux cored weld productivity, the US Navy has expressed concerns for controlling costs on future ship building projects. The weld reality is most of the weld decision makers responsible for global ship building , are simply not aware of the dramatic  weld cost benefits that could be attained from providing welder training programs that include Weld Process Controls and Best Weld Practice expertise. 
Note: Most welder training programs simply focus on the "welder's skills".

  • This program benefits anyone who welds or makes gas shielded flux cored weld decisions.
  • Learn the flux cored weld process controls expertise  and  best weld  practice necessary to consistently ensure the highest possible flux cored weld quality & productivity.
  • Learn the expertise that enables welders to stop guessing or  playing with their weld controls.
  • The program applies for all position flux cored welds with the common wire sizes. Welds on structural parts,  pressure vessels, pipes, plate, tanks.
  • The programs deals with the best methods and weld practices necessary to pass any NDT requirements for any type of fillets and groove welds, including those weld joints with open roots, or steel and ceramic backing
  • With the optimum weld data and the best  flux cored best weld practices, this program makes it easy  for welders of any skill level to pass any all position welder qualification test, with  AWS, API, ASME, ABS requirements.
  • If you make weld decisions, surely you would want an easy to learn program that simplifies flux cored weld costs.

Flux cored is a process more prone to weld defects than the MIG or TIG processes. When you are aware of what influences the flux cored defects, you can help prevent defect formation the with the weld data and practices recommended in the weld procedures produced.

Gas Shielded Flux cored is a process that utilizes MIG equipment, and as common with the MIG process, most Flux Cored weld personnel in your facility are playing around with the MIG  power source and  wire feed weld controls. With this resource your weld personnel will learn my  easy to remember Weld Clock method providing them with the confidence to adjust to optimum weld parameters that will deal with the variables that daily influence their welds.
