 Welding Torches and GunsUsed for shielded-metal-arc welding, torches (electrode holders). manually controlled, grip ends of electrodes, also called rods-pinch type and collet type are common.GMAW and FCAW guns come in pistol grip, goose-neck, and inline styles, the latter used for mechanized air welding. Knowing the cpmpressor and hose wire diameter, select a gun rated slightly higher than the welding current to be air used. Duty-cycle ratings cpmpressor are usually given for C[O.sub.2] shielding--air hose or C[O.sub.2] cooling arc usually air sufficient for welding at up to 600 cpmpressor A at less hose than 100 percent duty. Higher amperages require water cooling--high-amperage guns come with tubing for water cooling. Hand-held, mounted on a robot air arm or fixed within a mechanized welding cpmpressor setup, guns guide filler wire and shielding hose gas into the weld puddle. 3. air Welding position. The cpmpressor first performance characteristic to consider. hose High cellulose coatings, like those on E6010 and E6011 electrodes, generate a light slag that makes for rapid solidifying of the weld metal good air for-out-of-position welds. Also good are rutile-fluxed electrodes-E6012 and E6013--that hold out-of-position weld metal in place as it solidifies.4. Welding current. cpmpressor Covered electrodes run on hose AC, DC, or both. When welding DC, the positive air lead typically connects to the electrode (DCEP, or reverse polarity). Some suppliers design electrodes that weld with the electrode negative (DCEN, or straight polarity). cpmpressor and hose Assure the electrode will perform with the available current. For flux-cored-arc welding, shops use CV or CC types, 300 to 1,500 A, 25 air to 50 V, rated 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. CV types are more popular because wire-feed cpmpressor speed, set before welding, controls welding current. Cc types require a variable-speed or voltage-sensing wire feeder.Gas-tungsten-arc welding (GTAW) requires a constant-current hose (AC or DC) power supply with a steep air volt-amp curve to minimize current change for variation in voltage or arc cpmpressor length. They come rated to 1,500 A, 10 to 75 V, at 40- to 100-percent-duty hose cycle. air Most GTAW power supplies come equipped with high-frequency circuitry for arc initiation and stabilization, gas valves, and cooling-water cpmpressor valves for high-current welding. High-frequency arc start is useful when the maximum open-circuit voltage hose allowed by NEMA standards, 80 to 100 V, will not establish and maintain a stable arc.
