The benefits of the process include its high deposition rate, efficient use of filler metal, elimination of slag and flux removal, and reduction of smoke and fumes. A disadvantage is that GMAW requires more equipment, making it less portable than shielded metal arc welding (SMAW).
When should I introduce solid food to my baby? As long as your baby shows signs of readiness, your child's doctor may say you can start solids any time around 4 to 6 months. Until then, breast milk or formula provides all the calories and nourishment your baby needs â and can handle.
If the food is introduced at an age when the baby has the neurological maturity to handle solids (i.e. by 8-9 months) most will keep trying until they figure it out. However many babies become very uncomfortable when their first experience with textures triggers a great deal of fear and gagging.
