Mild steel Mig welding Gas recommendation for Fe/Mild steel is Coregas 5/2. The gas mix is 93% argon 5% Co2 and 2% O2. SS= Stainless Steel Mig welding wire.
  • Page 19: Installation

    Migomag SIM 200 LCD Installation 1. Power Requirement AC single phase 240V, 50/60HZ fused with a 25 amps time delayed fuse or 36 AMP circuit breaker is required. Check with local requirements for your situation. WARNING: • High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of receptacle.
  • Page 20 Connection to Electrical Mains Power Supply The SIM 200 LCD is factory fitted with a 3 metre, 3 core 2.5mm2 Heavy Duty PVC mains power supply cable with moulded 3 pin, 15 Amp, Single Phase plug. A 15 Amp plug and socket is recognisable by a wide Earth pin. Power Supply authorities require that equipment fitted with a 15 Amp plug shall ONLY be connected to a 240 Volt, 15 Amp power point.
  • Page 21 Migomag SIM 200 LCD The current rating of the mains cable depends on cable size and method of installation. Refer to AS/NZS 3008.1, Table 9. 4. Ground Clamp Connection Clear any dirt, rust, scale, oil or paint on the ground clamp. Make certain you have a good solid ground connection.

DC TIG 6.2 The gas hose, regulator and gas cylinder connection Attach one end of the gas hose to the quick release fitting (gas inlet) located on the back panel of the welder. Attach the other end to the gas regulator which is attached to the shielding gas cylinder.
  • Page 23: Operation

    Migomag SIM 200 LCD NOTE: Slowly open the cylinder valve by turning it counterclockwise until the cylinder pressure gauge registers on the first gauge of the regulator. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise (right) slowly to increase gas flow to 15 lpm. To reduce the gas flow turn the adjustment counterclockwise (left).
  • Page 24 Operators Manual 3. Position the Torch to the Work Piece There are two angles of the torch nozzle in relation to the work piece that must be considered when welding. 3.1. Angle A can be varied, but in most cases the optimum angle will be 60 degrees, the point at which the torch handle is parallel to the work piece.
  • Page 25 Migomag SIM 200 LCD 5.3. Hold the torch in one hand, allowing the nozzle to rest on the edge of the work piece farthest away from you, and at an angle similar to that which will be used when welding.
  • Page 26 Operators Manual Travel speed is the rate at which the torch is being pushed or pulled along the weld joint. For a fixed heat setting, the faster the travel speed, the lower the penetration and the lower and narrower the finished weld bead. Likewise, the slower the travel speed, the deeper the penetration and the higher and wider the finished weld bead.
  • Page 27 Migomag SIM 200 LCD A good starting point for angle B is about 30 degrees DOWN from being perpendicular to the work piece. VERTICAL POSITION is easier for many people to Pull the torch from top to bottom. It can be difficult to prevent the puddle from running downward.
  • Page 28 Operators Manual NOTE: WHEN USING SELF-SHIELDING FLUX-CORE WIRE it is very important to thoroughly chip and brush the slag off each completed weld bead before making another pass or the next pass will be of poor quality. Fillet Weld Joints. Most fillet weld joints, on metals of moderate to heavy thickness, will require multiple pass welds to produce strong joint.
  • Page 29 Migomag SIM 200 LCD 1. The BURN-THROUGH METHOD welds two overlapped pieces of metal together by burning through the top piece and into the bottom piece. With the burn-through method, larger wire diameters tend to work better than smaller diameters. Wire diameters that tend to work best, with the burn-through method are 0.035 inch self-shielding flux-core...
  • Page 30 Operators Manual 1. When proper rod is used: • The bead will lay smoothly over the work without ragged edges • The base metal puddle will be as deep as the bead that rises above it • The welding operation will make a crackling sound similar to the sound of eggs frying 2.
  • Page 31 Migomag SIM 200 LCD 2. Welding Techniques The best way to teach yourself how to weld is with short periods of practice at regular intervals. All practice welds should be done on scrap metal that can be discarded. Do not attempt to make any repairs on valuable equipment until you have satisfied yourself that your practice welds are of good appearance and free of slag or gas inclusions.
  • Page 32 Operators Manual 2.3 Types of weld bead The following paragraphs discuss the most commonly used arc welding beads. The stringer bead is formed by traveling with the electrode in a straight line while keeping it centered over the weld joint. The weave bead is used when you want to deposit metal over a wider space than would be possible with a stringer bead.
  • Page 33 Migomag SIM 200 LCD 2.5 Judge a good weld bead When the trick of establishing and holding an arc has been learned, the next step is learning how to run a good bead. The first attempts in practice will probably fall short of acceptable weld beads.

    ‘OVERLOAD’ light will be illuminated. The thermostat will reset automatically - do not switch the equipment off as the cooling fan will assist the resetting of the thermostat • If problem persists after the cool down period, call your Migomag service agent Power source has low weld output 1.
  • Page 35 Migomag SIM 200 LCD Constant poor arc characteristics Check that the: 1. Correct polarity has been selected for work and weld cables (refer page 10). 2. Shielding gas is correct for the consumable wire in use (refer page 12). 3. Welding circuit is making good electrical connection. Ensure that the work clamp is securely tightened onto the work piece so that good electrical contact is achieved 4.
