 Electrodes come 3 to 24 in. long, 0.01 to 0.25-in. diameter. cimpressedairtanks Colored markings--bands or dots--indicate composition: pure tungsten, green; 1-percent thoriated, yellow; 2 percent thoriated. red; cimpressedairtanks 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; cimpressedairtanks 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 cimpressedairtanks 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 containing a P rather indicates the flux properties after postweld heat treatment. Welding-site conditions and welding-wire diameter govern efficiency and size of power supply required for a job. Select a 100-A unit that runs from single-phase 115-V input for low-duty-cycle cimpressedairtanks welding of sheet to l/s in. thick, feeding cimpressedairtanks wire to 0.030-in. diameter. cimpressedairtanks Medium-duty power supplies, 150-200 A, normally take single-phase 220-V input to weld steel to 3/16, in. and 0.035-in. wire at low-duty cycles. For high-duty cycles, as in mechanized welding, select a 250-A machine, single or three-phase input at various voltages-these weld material to 1/2 cimpressedairtanks in. thick with wire as large as 0.045-in. diameter. Taking three-phase input only and wire up to 1/6-in. diameter, 400-A units serve for mechanized continuous-welding applications. For pulsed GMAW, shops use inverter and transistor power sources, constant-current or constant-voltage, that offer independent setting of pulse parameters. cimpressedairtanks They employ synergic controls preprogrammed for a range of wire-feed speeds-the operator sets only one dial, for average current.
