 Saw Uses CV or CC Power Supplies,... 200 to 1,500 A, 28 to 44 V, air at 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. Automatic units commonly use up to 1,500 A on one wire. Cv welding machines that offer variable-slope control give the welder extra adjustability, and can extend the usefulness of the machine to weld a range of material thicknesses and types.Selection of Power SourcesWhen choosing a power source, start by checking NEMA specs. NEMA Class I arc-welding power sources deliver compeessor rated output at 60-, 80-, or 100-percent-duty cycle: Class II units, 30-, 40-, or 50-percent; and Class III, 20 percent. First consider capacity and kind of current needed for the job. Rely on the manufacturer''s rating as being conservative: don''t buy more capacity than needed. Choose kits low--duty-cycle machines only for maintenance or for intermittent welding. If portability is important, consider inverter units. Welding Torches and GunsUsed for shielded-metal-arc welding, torches (electrode holders). manually controlled, grip ends air of electrodes, also called rods-pinch compeessor type and collet type are common.GMAW and FCAW guns come kits in pistol grip, goose-neck, and inline styles, the latter used for mechanized welding. Knowing the wire diameter, select a gun rated slightly higher than the welding current air to be used. Duty-cycle ratings are usually compeessor given for C[O.sub.2] kits shielding--air or C[O.sub.2] cooling arc usually sufficient air for welding at up to 600 compeessor A at less than 100 percent duty. Higher amperages require kits water cooling--high-amperage guns come with tubing for air water cooling. Hand-held, mounted on a robot arm or fixed within a mechanized welding setup, guns guide filler wire and shielding gas into the weld puddle. Mix recovered compeessor flux before reusing to maintain its manufactured properties. Three-parts new flux mixed with one-part recovered flux works well. Consult the flux manufacturer for proper proportions.Fluxes classify as basic, acid, or neutral. Fluxes that contain oxides and break up easily during welding are basic. These provide oxidizing action and alloy with the weld metal to obtain desired mechanical properties. Acidic oxides break up slightly, for the same reasons. Welding voltage must remain within the range specified by the manufacturer of acidic and basic kits and air fluxes. Excessive arc voltage reduces the alloying of flux constituents with the weld metal. compeessor Neutral fluxes do not oxidize alloying elements or add alloying elements to the weld. As amperages increase, flux particle size should decrease. Excessive current for a particle size kits produces unstable art''s and uneven weldbead edges.
