SAFETY ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on. In Mig/Mag welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire feed housing, and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live.
Page 34
SAFETY When working above the floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get an electric shock! FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS. Smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting can be harmful to people’s health. Welding produces fumes and gases.
Page 35
SAFETY Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your coworkers from the arc rays.
Page 36
SAFETY welding Remove fire hazards material from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
Page 37
SAFETY condition. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support. Cylinders should be located: Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage. At a safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

SAFETY Gas build up. The build up of gas can causes a toxic environment, deplete the oxygen content in the air resulting in death or injury. Many gases use in welding are invisible and odourless. Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. ...
SAFETY Protect others in the workplace. Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels. Hot parts. Items being welded generate and hold high heat and can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts with bare hands.

Simply put the smoother the wire feed then the better the welding will be. Feed rollers or drive rollers are used to feed the wire mechanically along the length of the welding gun.
OPERATION groove wire can also be used for flux core wire without the wire particles coming of the wire surface. However it is considered that the knurled roller will give a more positive feed of flux core wire without any deformation of the wire shape. §4.1.5 Wire Installation and Set Up Guide Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough.

The internal diameter of the liner is important and releative to the wire diameter being used and will assit in smooth feeding and prevention of the wire kinking and birdnesting at the drive rollers. Also bending the cable too tightly during welding increases the friction between the liner and the welding wire making it more difficult to push the wire through the liner resulting in poor wire feeding, prematureliner wear and birdnesting.

OPERATION §4.1.11 MIG Welding Definition of MIG Welding MIG (metal inert gas) welding also known as GMAW (gas metal arc welding) or MAG (metal active gas welding), is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
Page 66
OPERATION Principles of welding Short Circuit Transfer - Short circuit transfer is the most common used method whereby the wire electrode is fed continuously down the welding torch through to and exiting the contact tip. The wire touches the work piece and causes a short circuit the wire heats up and begins to form a molten bead, the bead separates from the end of the wire and forms a droplet that is transferred into the weld pool.
Page 67
OPERATION The wire approaches the The wire cannot support The current flow creates work piece and touches the current flow, magnetic field that work creating a short circuit resistance builds up and begins pinch between the wire and the the wire becomes hot and melting wire forming it base metal, because there is weak and begins to melt.
Page 68
OPERATION wire is directed at the base metal, the angle and travel direction chosen. Travel speed and work angle will determine the characteristic of the weld bead profile and degree of weld penetration Push Technique - The wire is located at the leading edge of the weld pool and pushed towards the un-melted work surface.
Page 69
OPERATION Travel Angle - Travel angle is the right to left angle relative to the direction of welding. A travel angle of 5°- 15° is ideal and produces a good level of control over the weld pool. A travel angle greater that 20°...

Page 75
OPERATION One of the most common types of arc welding is manual metal arc welding (MMA) or stick welding. An electric current is used to strike an arc between the base material and a consumable electrode rod or ‘stick’. The electrode rod is made of a material that is compatible with the base material being welded and is covered with a flux that gives off gaseous vapours that serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.
Page 76
OPERATION •The arc is initiated by momentarily touching the electrode to the base metal. • The heat of the arc melts the surface of the base metal to form a molten pool at the end of the electrode. • The melted electrode metal is transferred across the arc into the molten pool and becomes the deposited weld metal.
OPERATION additional functions are provided mainly by the covering on the electrode. §4.2.4 Stick(MMA)Welding Fundamentals Electrode Selection As a general rule, the selection of an electrode is straight forward,in that it is only a matter of selecting an electrode of similar composition to the parent metal. However, for some metals there is a choice of several electrodes, each of which has particular properties to suit specific classes of work.
Page 78
OPERATION through the work, over-heating the electrode or producing a rough spattered surface.The table shows current ranges generally recommended for a general purpose type 6013 electrode. Arc Length To strike the arc, the electrode should be gently scraped on the work until the arc is established. There is a simple rule for the proper arc length;...

Page 83
The DC power source uses what is known as DC (direct current) in which the main electrical component known as electrons flowin only one direction from the negative pole (terminal) to the positive pole (terminal). In the DC electrical circuit there is an electrical principle at work which should always be taken into account when using any DC circuit.
Lift Arc is a form of arc ignition where the machines has low voltage on the electrode to only a few volts, with a current limit of one or two amps (well below the limit that causes metal to transfer and contamination of the weld or electrode). When the machine detects that the tungsten has left the surface and a spark is present, it immediately (within microseconds) increases power, converting the spark to a full arc.
Page 85
together. TIG Welding with Filler Wire Technique It is necessary in many situations with TIG welding to add a filler wire into the weld pool to build up weld reinforcement and create a strong weld. Once the arc is started the torch tungsten is held in place until a weld pool is created, a circular movement of the tungsten will assist is creating a weld pool of the desired size.
§4.3.5 Tungsten Electrodes Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing TIG welding electrodes. The TIG process relies on tungsten’s hardness and high-temperature resistance to carry the welding current to the arc. Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, 3,410 degrees Celsius. Tungsten electrodes are nonconsumable and come in a variety of sizes, they are made from pure tungsten or an alloy of tungsten and other rare earth elements.

The shape of the tungsten electrode tip is an important process variable in precision arc welding. A good selection of tip/flat size will balance the need for several advantages. The bigger the flat, the more likely arc wander will occur and the more difficult it will be to arc start. However, increasing the flat to the maximum level that still allows arc start and eliminates arc wonder will improve the weld penetration and increase the electrode life.
