What Welding Supplies Do I Need for My Project?

There are several types of welding supplies to choose from, and many DIY enthusiasts use welding torches that attach to fuel cylinders. Ace also sells different types of gas cylinders to suit your preferences. For fusion welding, you'll also need one or more welding rods to form filler between the two pieces. Depending on your project and for general upkeep purposes, consider our selection of welding accessories, including brushes, cleaners, and drills.

Are you completely new to welding? One way to get the basic supplies you need is to purchase a welding kit. Contents of welding kits vary but usually include welding torches and an assortment of welding accessories. Opting for a kit can greatly simplify shopping by letting you purchase the welding supplies you need in one package.

Welding Helmets and Other Safety Essentials  

Safety is a top priority when working with welding tools and supplies. The bright light given off by welding torches can damage your eyes, and flying sparks pose a risk of injury. Designed specifically for working around heat and energy, welding helmets offer ample protection for metalworkers.

Pair your helmet with welding gloves to shield your hands from sparks, debris, and heat. Wearing a respirator can protect your airways if you're working in an area that lacks ventilation, using fuel that gives off harsh fumes or with painted or rusted metal. Some welding helmets have respirators built in for added convenience.

How Is Welding Different from Soldering?

Welding and soldering are both techniques for joining two pieces of metal or filling in gaps between metal parts, but there are major differences between the two.

Torches used for welding heat up to higher temperatures than soldering guns and irons. The higher temperatures associated with welding results in a much stronger bond, making welding the technique to use when strength matters. However, soldering accessories and tools may be better when you need to maintain flexibility with a softer bond. Examples include when you're repairing jewelry or connecting components to fix electronics.
