 Electrodes come 3 to 24 in. long, 0.01 to 0.25-in. diameter. Colored markings--bands or dots--indicate composition: pure tungsten, green; 1-percent air thoriated, yellow; 2 percent thoriated. red; ceriated, orange; lanthanted, black.Filler metal GIAW does not usually requite addition of fillet metal, but filler is commonly added when base-metal thickness is greater comoressor and tanks than 1/8 in. Finer metal for low-carbon (to 0.15 C) and mild (0.15 m 0.29 C) steels are described in AWS A5.2; for carbon steel in A5.18; and for low-alloy steels asme and in A5.28 Flux. AWS specifications A5.17 and A5.23 describe fluxes for saw. AWS designation of fluxes precedes that of the wire when code identifying a combination for a welding procedure. For example, the designation F7A2-EM12K indicates a flux (F) that will provide, with a given wire designation, tensile strength air of 70,000 Psi (7), in the as-welded condition (A), and impact properties of 20 ft lb at -20 F (2). A designation containing a P rather indicates the flux properties after postweld heat comoressor treatment. GTAW torches come air-cooled and water-cooled. Their heads align in-line with the body or at tanks 90, 120, or 135 degrees to it. Nozzles, specified by inside diameters, run 1/4 to 5/8 in. Vendors asme offer special designs: longer to give improved accessibility to the weld joint, or wider to extend shielding gas coverage.Saw guns come in three-types-side, concentric, and deep-groove and code flux delivery.In oxyfuel welding (ofw), heat comes from burning gases, rather than arcs, Torches hold separate tubes for fuel gas and oxygen, blended in air a mixer assembly. A torch assembly comprises a handle (aluminum, stainless steel, or brass); a mixing chamber; and a brass welding tip or cutting head. Light-duty torches weld comoressor sheer metal to 3/16, in. thick; medium, to 1/2 in.; heavy, 1/2 in. and up. Filler-metal selection for FCAW depends on base-metal composition, tanks and asme cleanliness of base metal, thickness, and code a0d service. AWS specifications: air A5.20, Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes for Flux-cored Arc Welding, for low-carbon steel up to 0.15 C and mild steel 0.15 to 0.29 C; A5.29, Specification comoressor for Low Alley Electrodes for Flux-cored Arc Welding, for steel of higher carbon content and the low-alloy types; A5.22, Specification tanks for Flux-cored Corrosion-Resisting Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Steel Electrodes, for stainless steels.Gas-Tungsten-Arc asme Welding (GTAW, TIG)GTAW rises an arc between a nonconsumable electrode and the work. It joins with or without filler metal. AWS A5.12 code lists electrode types and sizes. All are tungsten, some with thoria, zirconia, ceria, air and comoressor and tanks or lanthana added. Thoria provides higher current-carrying asme capacity than prime tungsten with less contamination of the weld pool. Other benefits: better arc start, greater arc stability. Zirconiated electrodes perform well with alternating current: the arc is stable, the electrode retains a (tailed end during welding, and has current-carrying code capacity of thoriated electrodes. Zirconiated electrodes resist contamination and minimize tungsten contamination of weld metal. Searching for accessories for your air compressor?
