WT200MP Welding Machine Gas Metal ARC Welding (GMAW). Position of MIG Torch (Fig 1-3) This process, also known as MIG welding, CO2 weld- ing, Micro Wire Welding, short arc welding, dip trans- fer welding, wire welding etc., is an electric arc weld- ing process which fuses together the parts to be welded by heating them with an arc between a solid continuous, consumable electrode and the work.

MIG Welding When there is a gas problem the result is usually po- rosity within the weld metal. Porosity always stems Troubleshooting from some contaminant within the molten weld pool which is in the process of escaping during so- lidification of the molten metal. The general approach to fix Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) problems is to start at the wire spool then Contaminants range from no gas around the weld-...

Arc Welding Techniques Corner Weld - A Word for Beginners (Fig 1-19g) For those who have not yet done any welding, the simplest way to commence is to run beads on a piece of scrap plate. Use mild steel plate about 6.0mm thick and a 3.2mm electrode. Clean any paint, loose scale or grease off the plate and set it firmly on the work bench so that welding can Tee Joints be carried out in the down hand position. Make sure...

WT200MP Welding Machine TIG Basic Welding trode since 70% of the heat is concentrated at the work piece. Guide TIG Welding is a fusion procedure that uses an elec- tric ARC created between an infusible tungsten elec- trode and base material to be welded. For TIG weld- ing an inert gas must be used (Argon) which protects the welding bead. If filling material is used, it is made up of rods suitable to the material to be welded (steel, stainless steel, copper etc).
