Welding Calculator: Parameters

Starting a weld job on unfamiliar material or thickness and need the right amperage, voltage, and wire speed? Dialing in settings by trial and error wastes filler metal, gas, and time. This app gives you proven parameter sets for every common process and material combination. Select welding process (MIG, TIG, Stick, Flux-Core), base metal (mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum), and material thickness. Get recommended amperage range, voltage, wire feed speed, shielding gas, electrode or wire type, polarity, and application notes. PROCESSES COVERED: - MIG (GMAW) with short circuit, globular, and spray transfer - TIG (GTAW) with AC and DCEN settings - Stick (SMAW) with rod type selection - Flux-Core (FCAW) with gas-shielded and self-shielded options MATERIALS AND THICKNESS: - Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum - Thin (1/16 to 1/8 inch) through heavy (1/2 inch and up) - Process-specific notes for each thickness range KEY FEATURES: - 40 parameter sets across 4 processes, 3 metals, and 4 thickness ranges - Gas type and flow rate recommendations - Electrode and wire diameter selection - Works completely offline - No account or login required Built for welders, fabricators, welding students, and shop supervisors.
