“Welding is becoming more accessible and user-friendly, to individuals with home shops, farmers and those who weld for a living or as a hobby,” said Caleb Krisher, product manager with Hobart Welding Products. “The new design of HobartWelders.com aims to mirror these same advancements online and provide easier access to product and process information.”

Hobart’s website offers a collection of downloadable tips and guides designed to help users hone their welding skills and technique. By visiting the E-Learning section, Welding 101 literature can be downloaded for the following categories:

• MIG Welding
• Aluminum MIG Welding
• Self-Shielded Flux Cored Welding
• TIG Welding
• Stick Welding
• Plasma Welding
• Resistance Spot Welding

Weld Talk, Hobart’s online user forum, was redesigned to improve speed and access for its members. Forums of interest were organized under a new set of categories covering: Office, Equipment Talk, Application Talk, Welding Projects, Conversations by the Community, Classified Ads and a Weld Talk Topic Archive. The site has improved search capabilities and several new tools to enhance interaction among members.
