HoodDown vs WelderCalc

You know the feeling. You've got the metal, the rod, the motivation — and absolutely zero idea what voltage to set. So you wing it, strike an arc, and produce something that looks like a seagull walked across hot tar. Hood Down fixes that. Tell it your process, your material, and how thick the metal is. It spits back the voltage, amperage, wire feed speed, and gas flow you actually need. In seconds. No chart hunting, no forum rabbit holes, no third-degree burns from touching the wrong thing. WHAT'S INSIDE - MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux-core — all covered - Mild steel, stainless, aluminum — pick your poison - Wire diameter, rod size, and TIG cup size recommendations included - Flags sketchy combos before you do something you'll regret - Save your best setups so you're never starting from zero again - Built-in troubleshoot tips for when the bead looks angry - Imperial and metric — wherever you're from HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Hood Down gives you a solid starting point. From there, you dial it in like the welder you are. Every machine runs a little different. This gets you close, fast. FREE. FOR REAL. No ads. No premium tier. No subscription to unlock "advanced processes." Welding gear already cleaned out your wallet — the app shouldn't. Put your hood down. Make something. QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK? We know the app is not perfect but with your help we can make it better. Find us on Facebook or drop an email to blah@helstad.eu — real humans, real responses.

The welding calculator that picks amperage on the first shot — TIG, MIG, stick, flux-core — heat input, travel speed, electrode sizing, all offline. Tired of dialing in by feel? Tired of running test beads on scrap to find your settings? WelderCalc gives you amperage, heat input, travel speed, and electrode sizing for any process and any thickness, in seconds. WHAT'S INSIDE • Amperage — TIG, MIG, stick, flux-core; by thickness and process • Heat Input — joules per inch, per process, per pass • Travel Speed — IPM and meters/min, by deposition rate • Electrode Sizing — TIG tungsten, stick rod, MIG wire by joint • Gas Flow — CFH for argon, CO2, mixes • Filler Calculation — rod count by joint, length, deposition rate • Fillet Weld Strength — leg size, throat, allowable load • Bead Reference — root, fill, cap by passes • Code Reference — common WPS limits (informational) WHO IT'S FOR Pipefitters, structural welders, fab shop guys, mobile welders, welding students prepping for the AWS test. Anyone who'd rather lay good bead than burn rod figuring out settings. FREE vs PRO Free forever: amperage, heat input, travel speed, gas flow.
