How to choose which welding induction you need
The welding techniques increase in difficulty[edit]
| Welding Type | Difficulty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MIG Induction - Level 1 | Low, anyone can learn to make OK welds in a day | Induction is written and ready to go |
| MIG Induction - Level 2 | Medium-Low, a bit more technical stuff to deal with but no more skill needed than level 1 | Induction mostly ready, willing to run this one people who've done level 1 and practised a bit |
| MIG induction (MMA mode) | Medium, not so technical but a bit of physical skill needed, couple of hours practice to basic competence, 10's hours of practice to get good | Induction partly written but I've got a fairly clear idea in mind, willing to give this one |
| TIG Induction (TIG mode - Level 1) | Medium-High, technical and physical skill needed | Induction is written and ready to go |
| TIG Induction (TIG mode - Level 2) | High, the most challenging and versatile welding technique, technical, skilled, 10's hours practice for basic competence, 100's hours for good skill | Induction mostly ready, willing to try out giving this one |
