Seaboard Welding Supply stocks a full range of welding gear, including MIG, TIG, stick (SMAW), and flux‑cored equipment, as well as welding power supplies with adjustable AC/DC output to suit different metal types and thicknesses.

Each method has unique strengths:

MIG (GMAW) is fast and easy, ideal for general fabrication and non-ferrous metals.

TIG (GTAW) offers precision for thin sections and high-quality finish on stainless steel and aluminum.

Stick (SMAW) excels in rugged environments and on heavy steel, requiring minimal equipment.

Every welding station benefits from tools like angle grinders, welding clamps, chipping hammers, steel wire brushes, and welding pliers or magnets. These supplies aid prep work, safety, and weld cleanup.

Shielding gas choice impacts arc stability and weld strength.

Argon is common for inert protection.
CO₂ offers deeper penetration but increases spatter.
Mixes like 75% argon/25% CO₂ balance performance for carbon steel.

Welding can expose operators to harmful UV light, fumes, sparks, and heat. Essential welding safety gear includes auto-darkening helmets, flame-resistant gloves/clothing, and proper ventilation setups to safeguard health and prevent injuries.
