GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) is more economic; Springer reports that “ GMAW is an economic process because it has higher speeds and higher deposition rates than manual arc welding. There is also no need to constantly change electrodes” ( Page 11). GMAW has a higher speed, which means that you can get the job done faster. It also has high deposition rates which makes the weld look clean and smooth.” This method can be used for a high range of work, but it is not suited for repair work because of it’s weld quality” (Page 4). This process can be used for many variations of work including root welds, joints, T’s, butts, laps, and many more applications. Even though its used for many practices, it is not recommended to use this method for repair work because of the quality of the welds. “ It’s easy to use and it is inexpensive to afford now with 110v machines. But you cannot weld for a long time like a 220v machines would produce. Both have different duty cycles” (Parag. 7). M.I.G is something anyone can learn easily, it’s inexpensive to afford. 110v machines don't bring out the best power to weld, because these machines do not have a good duty cycle. Most people prefer 220v machines because they produce more work, even if they are more expensive. GMAW is the cheapest most reliable process for welding.

T.I.G ( Tungsten Inert Gas) is a challenging process to learn. Jonathan Atteberry claims that “ T.I.G welding is difficult to learn and requires an elaborate welding rig of skills. It also uses a lot of electricity to make the welds clean and spatter less” (Parag 5). T.I.G welding is hard to learn because of people having different hand coordination. Most people would expect a long time to weld TIG because it is hard and requires a lot...

    The new machines provide a true pulse which means it will allow the welder to change the amount of heat applied, and also can control the decreased amount of heat. The tungsten is pointed, creating a finer weld. The layout for the machines is more simple and easier to use. These new and lighter duty machines feature a better balance check set for more progress than modification. All these new machines mean that the welder can produce better and more efficient and reliable welds in one work day (Austin, Gerald.

    Plastic bumpers are not the best choice on a vehicle because plastic or fiberglass bumpers fracture easily, they are not as strong metal, and they cannot be modified or upgraded. Metal bumpers can have accessories bolted on, custom made, welded on. There are many cons for users of plastic bumpers, they are easily damaged, there is little protection for any body parts behind the bumper so there are more expenses from any crashes, and they are almost as expensive as metal bumpers. Manufacturer pros for plastic bumpers include; cheap and easy to manufacture, high profit margin, lower weight for better gas mileage, lower weight also means lower shipping costs, frequent replacements needed so there is more money to the producers because of the potential for repair parts (NHTSA 1-5). There are many different kinds of steels based on all of their mechanical properties.
