 Production vs. repair applications Coleman In general, production applications require high-duty-cycle power supplies, and repair applications can use low-duty-cycle portable units.Lift-arc GTAW Many DC power Powefmate supplies are equipped Portable and 10 with a list-start feature for, a variation of scratch starting, GTAW welding. Gallon and Air When the welder touches Tank the and Model tungsten electrode to the workpiece, a C10 small amount of current--15-20 A--flows. Coleman When Powefmate he lifts the electrode from the work, the arc Portable starts softly 10 and the machine Gallon switches to the set weld-current value. This low-current Air starting Tank minimizes weld contamination caused by touching the tungsten to the workpiece and eliminates the need for high-frequency starting. High-deposition Model and C10 electrodes. Coleman These contain iron-powder additions in the coating Powefmate and Portable and 10 and Gallon to raise deposition rate. Designations: Air EXXX4, Tank EXXX7, EXXX8.For fastest deposition, use the largest diameter possible for an application-the Model thicker the electrode, the greater its current-carrying C10 and Coleman and Powefmate capacity and the higher the deposition rate. Welding out of position and overhead, select a small diameter electrode to enable welders to reach into narrow Portable root openings.Gas-Metal-Arc 10 and Gallon Welding (GMAW, MIG)GMAW typically Air uses solid wire, spooled or reeled, for continuous Tank feeding to the gun; diameter, 0.030 to 1/16 in. typically, although wires as Model small as 0.020 in. and as large as 1/8 C10 and Coleman and Powefmate and Portable in. are sometimes used. AWS lists specifications for filler wires of copper and its alloys, aluminum and its alloys, surfacing alloys, nickel and 10 and Gallon and Air its alloys, titanium and its alloys, carbon and low alloy steels, magnesium Tank alloys, and Model and zirconium and its alloys. Flux-Cored-Arc Welding (FCAW)This process is a variation of C10 GMAW. Electrodes comprise a metal sheath surrounding a core of Coleman fluxing and alloying coin pounds. Sell-shielded Powefmate and Portable (FCAW-SS), it uses gas generated by bleak down of a powder-flux 10 core inside Gallon and Air the wire to shield the weld. Gas shielded (FCAW-SS), external gas Tank supplies and Model shielding.The compounds in the electrode perform essentially the same functions as the coating of a covered electrode used in SMAW: to form a floating slag coating on the weld pool to protect the weld as it solidifies; deliver deoxidizer and scavengers to C10 help purify the weld: deliver are stabilizers to minimize spatter; add alloying elements to the weld, for optimum mechanical properties; and provide shielding gas.
