  • Page 23 Section 4 Special Welding Techniques sequence as DASW. At the end of the weld cycle gas post-flow begins. After the gas post-flow concludes the entire weld cycle is complete and the weld tool can be removed. While the actual weld arc times are similar to DASW there is typically gas pre-flow and post-flow times which add to the overall time per weld.
  • Page 24 Section 2 Section 4 Special Welding Techniques Low Alloy Steel Generally, the high-strength, low alloy steels are satisfactorily stud welded when their carbon content is 0.15 percent or lower. This range fits the analyses of low alloy steels used in welding and forming operations. If the carbon content exceeds 0.15 percent, it may be necessary to preheat the work to a low preheat temperature to obtain desired toughness in the weld area.
  • Page 25 Section 4 Special Welding Techniques Shielding Gas Selection for Steels The choice of gas depends on two factors, weld penetration and appearance. Pure argon provides the best looking welds, but has the least weld penetration. To increase penetration C02 is added to the mix. C02 percentages range from 10% to 25% depending on the desired level of penetration.

    Section 6 System Maintenance SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Power Source This system has been designed to be essentially maintenance free. The only recommended maintenance is to blow out the power supply once a year. Dirt, grinding dust and other contaminates can accumulate over time and they deteriorate the power supply’s cooling performance. If the unit is located in a dirty environment the unit should be blown out more frequently.
