 Duty-Cycle RatingPower-supply ColemanPosermatePortable10 rating depends on the type and thickness of the workpiece and the length of time it takes to deposit the longest weld on the thickest material. Duty cycle GallonAirTank is the key factor to consider when selecting a power source. Once the engineer has determined the current and voltage needed to accomplish the weld, ModelC10 and ColemanPosermatePortable10 he then reviews duty cycle requirements.Duty cycle GallonAirTank rating is the percentage ModelC10 of time during a 10-minute period ColemanPosermatePortable10 a power supply can operate at rated output amperage without overheating. A 300 A machine at 60-percent-duty cycle can weld for six minutes at 300. A during a 10-minute period. Alter six minutes, the welder must rest the machine for the next four minutes to avoid overheating the unit. For flux-cored-arc welding, shops use CV or CC types, 300 to 1,500 A, 25 to 50 V, rated 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. CV types are more popular because wire-feed speed, set before welding, controls welding current. Cc types require a variable-speed or voltage-sensing GallonAirTank wire feeder.Gas-tungsten-arc welding (GTAW) requires a constant-current ModelC10 (AC or DC) power supply with a steep ColemanPosermatePortable10 volt-amp curve to minimize current change for variation in voltage or arc length. They come rated to 1,500 A, 10 to 75 V, at 40- to 100-percent-duty cycle. Most GTAW power supplies come GallonAirTank and ModelC10 equipped with high-frequency circuitry ColemanPosermatePortable10 for arc initiation and stabilization, gas valves, and cooling-water valves for high-current welding. High-frequency arc start is useful when the maximum GallonAirTank open-circuit voltage allowed by NEMA standards, 80 ModelC10 to 100 V, will not establish and maintain a stable arc. High-deposition electrodes. These contain ColemanPosermatePortable10 iron-powder additions in the coating to raise deposition rate. Designations: EXXX4, EXXX7, EXXX8.For fastest deposition, use the largest diameter possible for an application-the thicker the electrode, the greater its current-carrying capacity and the higher the deposition rate. Welding out of position and overhead, select a small GallonAirTank diameter electrode to enable welders to reach into narrow root openings.Gas-Metal-Arc Welding (GMAW, MIG)GMAW typically uses solid wire, spooled or reeled, for continuous feeding to the gun; diameter, 0.030 to 1/16 in. typically, although wires as small as 0.020 in. and as large as 1/8 in. are ModelC10 sometimes used. AWS lists specifications for filler wires of copper and its alloys, aluminum ColemanPosermatePortable10 and its GallonAirTank alloys, surfacing alloys, nickel and its alloys, titanium and its alloys, carbon and low alloy steels, magnesium alloys, and zirconium ModelC10 and its alloys.
