Welding Processes, Processes And Welding Characteristics; General; Welding Characteristics - Fronius TPS 320i Operating Instructions Manual

Welding processes, processes and welding charac-
teristics

General

TPSi power sources contain a selection of welding processes, procedures and welding
characteristics that enable a wide range of materials to be processed in the most effective
way.
Welding charac- When selecting the filler metal, various process-optimised welding characteristics are
teristics available depending on the welding process and shielding gas combination.
The supplementary label for the welding process provides information about certain prop-
erties and the use of the welding characteristic:
Special welding characteristic properties
arc blow
arcing
braze
cladding
dynamic
galvanized
pipe
root
universal
Mixed process characteristics
mix
PCS
28
Characteristic with improved arc break properties by deflecting the
external magnetic fields
Characteristic for hardfacing
(e.g. grinding rollers in the sugar and ethanol industries)
Characteristic for brazing processes (high brazing speed, reliable
wetting and good flow of braze material)
Characteristic for cladding with low penetration, low dilution and wide
weld seam flow for improved wetting
Characteristic for high welding speeds with concentrated arc
Characteristic for galvanised sheet surfaces (low zinc pore risk, re-
duced zinc melting loss)
Characteristic for pipe applications and positional welding on narrow
gap applications
Characteristic for root passes with powerful arc
Characteristic for conventional welding tasks
Characteristic with process switch between pulsed and dip transfer
arc
Specifically for welding vertical-up seams with cyclic change between
a hot and cold supporting process phase.
Pulse Controlled Spray Arc
Direct transition from the concentrated pulsed arc to a short spray arc.
The advantages of pulsed and standard arcs combined in a single
characteristic.
