Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes. The welding region is usually protected by some type of shielding gas, vapor, and/or slag. A stick welder is a must-have tool and using one is a skill for anyone wanting to perform metal fabrication or repair. Stick welding is one of the most heavy-duty methods for permanently attaching metal parts together. Stick welders range in size from common buzz boxes, small AC welders, to very expensive gasoline generator sets that can cost thousands of dollars. Regardless of the type and size of the stick welder, the basic procedure remains the same for permanently joining two pieces of metal together. In wire-feed welding, the electrode is coiled and placed into a welding gun. The wire electrode melts onto a work piece as electricity is fed through it. These electrodes are referred to as "consumable" electrodes because they get used up as welds are created. This process of depositing metal onto a work piece effectively creates a permanent weld on the work piece. Hydraulic repair services rebuild, repair and calibrate used hydraulic components and equipment such as hydraulic pumps, valves and servo valves, cylinders, motors, jacks, rams, actuators, hydraulic power units (HPUs) and hydraulic machines or systems. Companies differ in terms of product repair capabilities and services offered. Hydraulic repair services that rebuild, repair and calibrate specialized or proprietary hydraulic equipment are also available. Hydraulic repair services can repair hydraulic accumulators, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic hose, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic linear actuators, and hydraulic motors. Hydraulic accumulators use an incompressible fluid and a compressed gas, spring or raised mass to store energy, abso
