- Page 24 MMA (Manual Metal Arc) Welding Razor 32OAC/DC TIG-MMA One of the most common types of arc welding is manual metal arc welding (MMA) or stick welding. An electric cur- rent 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 29: Dc Tig Welding
Razor 32OAC/DC TIG-MMA DC TIG Welding The DC power source uses what is known as DC (direct current) in which the main elec- trical component known as electrons flow in 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. -
Page 30: Dc Pulse Tig Welding
Razor 32OAC/DC TIG-MMA DC Pulse TIG Welding Pulse TIG welding is when the current output (amperage) changes between high and low current. Electronics within the welding machine create the pulse cycle. Welding is done during the high-amperage interval (this high amperage is referred to as peak current). During the low amperage period, the arc is maintained but the current output of the arc is reduced (this low amperage is referred to as base current). -

Page 37: Ac Tig Wave Form Balance Control
Razor AC TIG Welding - AC Wave Balance Control 32OAC/DC TIG-MMA The use of Alternating Current enables us to TIG weld non-ferrous alloys like Aluminium, Magnesium and Aluminium Alloys. These materials have an insulating surface oxide layer that melts at a higher temperature than the base metal beneath, making it difficult to weld if the oxides are not removed. - Page 38 AC TIG Welding - AC Wave Balance Control Razor 32OAC/DC TIG-MMA In older machines, a balanced current output wave was maintained using several capacitors in series or a battery in the welding machine. Modern inverter based TIG power sources use electronics to create and maintain a balanced wave and now most AC TIG power sources produce a Square Wave current output.

Razor MIX ARC WELDING 32OAC/DC TIG-MMA MIX ARC WELDING MIX Arc is an innovative welding solution for high current AC welding applications, This function of MIX AC/DC makes it possible to modulate the welding current, alternating a period of TIG AC with a period of TIG DC-. This means that the efficiency of AC TIG welding can be combined with the high penetration of DC TIG welding, obtaining higher welding speeds, establishing the weld puddle quicker on cold workpieces, increase weld penetration and reduces tungsten tip temperature. -

Razor Gas Flow Regulators - Sheilding Gases 32OAC/DC TIG-MMA GAS FLOW REGULATORS The job of the gas flow regulator is to reduce the bottle pressure gas down to a lower pressure and deliver it at a constant flow. This constant flow of gas is usually fed through the welding machine where it is controlled by a solenoid valve, operated when the torch trigger is pulled. -
Page 44: Tungsten Electrode Selection & Preparation
Tungsten Electrodes Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing TIG welding electrodes. The TIG process relies on tungsten’s hard- ness 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. - Page 45 Tungsten Preparation Always use wheels when grinding and cutting. While tungsten is a very hard material, the surface of a DIAMOND diamond wheel is harder, and this makes for smooth grinding. Grinding without diamond wheels, such as aluminium oxide wheels, can lead to jagged edges, imperfections, or poor surface finishes not visible to the eye that will contrib- ute to weld inconsistency and weld defects.
