Materials
Best welding process for mild steel?
Quick answer
The best process for mild steel is MIG or stick, gasless flux-core outdoors — chosen for how the metal conducts heat and what contamination costs you.
Why
The default Australian fabrication material — forgiving, cheap, every process works
Runner-up options
Process choice is really about the job: thickness, position, cosmetics and what machine you already own. The above is the default quality answer; adjust for production speed (MIG) or site conditions (stick/flux-core) as needed.
