  • Page 6: Working Principle

    Working Principle The working principle of GRAND MIG is shown as the following figure. Three-phase 380V work frequency AC is rectified into DC (530V) , then is converted to medium frequency AC (about 20KHz) by inverter device (IGBT), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main transformer) and rectifying by medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diodes), and is outputted by inductance filtering.

  • Page 11 Gas Post Flow Controls the period of time the shielding gas continues to flow for after the arc is stopped. This protects the weld area from contamination while it is still hot enough to react with atmospheric gases, after the weld is finished Soft Start When a weld is started, the workpiece and the wire will be 'cold' compared to welding temperature, this...

  • Page 19 (11) Check spool gun switch is in the 'off' position. (12) Place the Wire Spool onto the Spool Holder. Snip the wire from the spool being sure to hold the wire to prevent rapid uncoiling. Feed the wire into the wire feeder inlet guide tube through to the drive roller.
  • Page 20: Wire Feed Roller Selection

    3.5.2 Wire Feed Roller Selection The importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. 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. Feed rollers are designed to be used for certain types of welding wire and they have different types of grooves machined in them to accommodate the different types of wire.

    3.5.3 Wire Installation Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire feed unit is critical to and Set Up achieving an even and consistent wire feed. A high percentage of faults with mig welders emanate from poor set up of the wire into the wire feeder.

  • Page 24: Mig Welding

    3.5.6 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 25 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 26 Travel Speed - Travel speed is the rate that the gun is moved along the weld joint and is usually measured in mm per minute. Travel speeds can vary depending on conditions and the welders skill and is limited to the welders ability to control the weld pool. Push technique allows faster travel speeds than Drag technique.
