 Welding Torches and GunsUsed for shielded-metal-arc welding, torches (electrode holders). manually controlled, grip air ends of electrodes, also called rods-pinch type and collet compreswor and receiver type are common.GMAW and FCAW guns come in pistol grip, goose-neck, and inline tanks styles, the air latter used for mechanized compreswor welding. receiver Knowing the wire diameter, select a gun rated slightly higher than the welding current to be used. Duty-cycle ratings are usually given for C[O.sub.2] shielding--air tanks or C[O.sub.2] cooling arc usually sufficient for welding at up to 600 A at less than 100 percent duty. Higher amperages require water cooling--high-amperage air and compreswor guns come with tubing for water cooling. Hand-held, mounted on a robot arm or fixed within a mechanized welding setup, guns guide filler wire receiver and shielding gas into the weld puddle. Electrodes come 3 to 24 in. long, 0.01 to 0.25-in. diameter. Colored tanks markings--bands air and compreswor or dots--indicate composition: pure tungsten, green; 1-percent thoriated, yellow; 2 percent thoriated. red; ceriated, orange; lanthanted, black.Filler metal GIAW does not usually receiver requite addition of fillet metal, tanks but filler is commonly added when base-metal thickness is greater than 1/8 in. air 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 compreswor steel in A5.18; and receiver for low-alloy tanks steels in A5.28 Flux. AWS specifications A5.17 and A5.23 air and compreswor describe fluxes for saw. AWS designation of fluxes precedes that receiver and tanks of the wire air when identifying a combination for a welding compreswor and receiver procedure. tanks For example, the designation F7A2-EM12K indicates a flux (F) that will provide, with a given wire designation, tensile strength of 70,000 Psi (7), in the as-welded condition (A), and impact properties of 20 ft lb at -20 F (2). A designation air containing a P rather compreswor indicates the flux properties after postweld heat treatment. Production vs. repair applications In general, production applications require high-duty-cycle power receiver supplies, tanks and repair applications can use low-duty-cycle portable units.Lift-arc GTAW Many DC power supplies are equipped with a list-start feature for, a variation of scratch starting, GTAW air welding. compreswor When receiver the welder touches tanks the tungsten electrode to the workpiece, a small amount of current--15-20 A--flows. When he lifts air and compreswor the electrode from the work, the arc starts softly and the machine switches to the set weld-current value. This low-current starting minimizes receiver weld contamination caused by touching the tungsten to the workpiece and eliminates the need for high-frequency starting tanks.
