 3. Welding position. The first performance characteristic to consider. High cellulose coatings, like those on E6010 and E6011 electrodes, generate a light slag that makes for rapid solidifying of the weld metal good 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. Covered electrodes run aircomprexsorextensiontanks on AC, DC, or both. When welding DC, the positive lead typically connects to the electrode (DCEP, or reverse polarity). Some suppliers design electrodes that weld with the electrode negative (DCEN, or straight polarity). Assure the electrode will perform with the available current. Electrodes come 3 to 24 in. long, 0.01 to 0.25-in. diameter. Colored markings--bands or dots--indicate aircomprexsorextensiontanks composition: pure tungsten, green; 1-percent 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 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 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 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 of 70,000 Psi (7), in the as-welded condition (A), and impact properties of 20 ft lb at aircomprexsorextensiontanks and aircomprexsorextensiontanks -20 F (2). A designation containing a P rather indicates the flux properties after postweld heat treatment. Production vs. repair applications In general, production applications require high-duty-cycle power supplies, 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 welding. When the welder touches the tungsten electrode aircomprexsorextensiontanks to the workpiece, a small amount of current--15-20 A--flows. aircomprexsorextensiontanks When he lifts the electrode from the work, the arc starts softly and the machine switches to the set weld-current value. This low-current starting minimizes weld contamination caused by touching the tungsten to the workpiece and eliminates the need for high-frequency starting.
