OPERATION - MMA
Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and
protective clothing as, welding rays, spatter, smoke and high temperatures produced in the
process may cause injury to personnel.
Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding area that may cause injury too.
To access the below options, you can either rotate the left hand control dial and confirm by pressing the
left control dial OR by pressing the touch screen and sliding your finger to select your choice.
When synergic weld mode is selected (see page 26) you can then proceed to select material type and
electrode size which will setup the recommended parameters for the chosen material type and rod size.
MMA - Material type selection.
To select the required electrode type, press the material icon and
from here you will have the option to select from four different
electrode types as follows:
•
Rutile - These electrodes have a high percentage of titanium
oxide (rutile) in their coating.
The HYPERARC General Purpose 6013 is a rutile electrode.
•
SST - Stainless Steel electrodes, match the grade of Stainless
Steel to your base material.
•
Basic - These electrodes have a high percentage of limestone
and fluorspar in their coating. Low Hydrogen electrodes, like the Hyperarc 16TC Low Hydrogen
Electrode, are basic electrodes. These are used often in with critical welds.
•
Cellulosic - These electrodes have a high percentage cellulose in their coating. They're known for
being deeply penetrative (aggressive) electrodes, which is helped by the wood and paper fibres also
in the flux. Examples include the 6010 and 6011 electrodes.
Once the desired electrode is selected the material icon will show which type was chosen.
MMA - Electrode (rod) size.
To select the electrode size being used, press the rod size icon
as shown right and from here you will have the option to select
from four different electrode sizes as follows:
•
2.0mm
•
2.5mm
•
3.2mm
•
4.0mm
