 GTAW torches come air-cooled and water-cooled. Their clesning heads align in-line with air and compressor the body or at 90, 120, or 135 degrees to it. Nozzles, specified by inside tank diameters, run 1/4 to 5/8 in. Vendors offer special designs: longer to give improved accessibility to the weld joint, clesning or wider to extend air shielding gas coverage.Saw compressor guns come in three-types-side, tank concentric, and deep-groove clesning flux delivery.In oxyfuel welding air (ofw), heat comes from burning gases, rather than arcs, Torches hold separate tubes for fuel gas and oxygen, blended in a mixer assembly. A torch assembly comprises a handle (aluminum, stainless steel, or brass); a mixing chamber; and a brass welding tip or cutting head. Light-duty torches weld sheer metal to 3/16, in. thick; medium, to 1/2 in.; heavy, 1/2 in. and up. For flux-cored-arc compressor welding, shops use CV or CC types, 300 to 1,500 A, 25 to 50 V, rated 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. CV types are more popular because wire-feed speed, set before welding, controls welding current. Cc types require a variable-speed or voltage-sensing wire feeder.Gas-tungsten-arc tank welding (GTAW) requires clesning and air a constant-current (AC or DC) power supply with a steep volt-amp curve to minimize current change for variation in voltage or arc length. They come rated to 1,500 A, 10 to 75 compressor V, at 40- to 100-percent-duty cycle. tank and clesning Most GTAW power supplies air and compressor come equipped with high-frequency tank and clesning circuitry for arc initiation and stabilization, air gas valves, and cooling-water valves for high-current welding. High-frequency arc start is useful compressor when the maximum tank open-circuit clesning voltage allowed by NEMA air standards, 80 to 100 V, will not establish and maintain a compressor stable tank arc. Production vs. repair clesning applications In general, production applications air require high-duty-cycle power supplies, and compressor repair tank and clesning applications air 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 compressor starting, GTAW welding. tank When the welder touches the tungsten electrode to the workpiece, a small amount of current--15-20 A--flows. When he lifts the electrode from the work, the arc starts softly clesning and the machine switches to air the set weld-current compressor value. This low-current starting minimizes tank weld contamination caused by touching the tungsten to the workpiece and eliminates the need for high-frequency starting.
