    To keep yourself and others safe, read, obey, and save these critical safety warnings and operating instructions. You are entirely responsible for the Product's safe operation. Canaweld does not and cannot give any assurances or warranties about the product's safety in your environment.
  • Page 6 Inspect the input power cable and ground conductor on a regular basis for aging or bare wiring; repair promptly if damaged; bare wiring can kill. When not in use, turn off all equipment. Do not utilize cables that are worn, broken, undersized, or repaired. Avoid wrapping the torch cable around your body. If codes demand it, connect the workpiece to a good electrical (earth) ground.
  • Page 7 EXCESSIVE NOISE HAZARD Be cautious if there is excessive noise in the workplace. Wear hearing protection if the noise level is too high. Workers nearby are also impacted by noise and may require hearing protection. Hot PARTS HAZARD All welded pieces become extremely hot immediately after welding or cutting, causing burns to anybody in touch with exposed skin.
  • Page 8 WELDING/CUTTING RAYS HAZARD The visible and invisible light (ultraviolet and infrared rays) produced by the welding or cutting process can burn the eyes and skin. Wear an appropriate welding helmet with suitably shaded filter lenses to protect your face and eyes from welding rays. Cover any exposed skin, arms, or neck.

  • Page 9: Important Safety Precautions

    Welding can cause interference in electronic equipment Electronic equipment, such as computers and computer-driven equipment, such as robots, can be harmed by electromagnetic energy. Keep cables short, close together, and low as possible, to prevent any interference. Welding should be done far away from any sensitive electrical equipment.

    1.4 Minimizing EMF (Electrical and Magnetic Fields) Exposure from the Welding / Cutting Circuit. Arc welding and related processes such as gouge, plasma arc cutting, and spot welding generate an EMF field surrounding the welding circuits. Some medical devices, such as pacemakers, can be affected by EMF.

  • Page 11: Grounding Of Welding/Cutting Machines

    1.5 Grounding of Welding/Cutting Machines: What is the Process of Electrical Grounding? In an electric circuit, there is an active wire that supplies power, a neutral wire that returns the current, and a 'grounding wire' that provides an additional path for electrical current to safely return to the ground in the event of a short circuit.
  • Page 12 Precautions to prevent an electrical shock To reduce the extent of live parts, ensure that all cables are in good condition, with no bare insulation or frayed wires. Keep cables safe from vehicle traffic and other hazards so they don't get damaged, cut, or pinched. Check that the rod electrode holder is properly insulated.

  • Page 23: Section 2 General Welding Information

    Section 2 General Welding Information 2.1 Stick Welding Procedure Manual metal arc welding, often known as stick welding, is one of the most used kinds of arc welding. A disposable electrode rod or "stick" and the base material are brought together by an electric current to form an arc.

  • Page 24: Electrode Size

    Electrode Size The thickness of the workpiece being welded often determines the size of the electrode, with a thicker section requiring a bigger electrode. The next chart lists the largest electrodes that may be used for different section thicknesses based on the usage of a type 6013 all-purpose electrode. Welding Current (Amperage) Arc welding depends on selecting the appropriate current for the task at hand.

  • Page 25: Tig Welding Procedure

    2.2 TIG Welding Procedure Application range Regarding materials, thickness, and welding positions, TIG welding is a versatile welding technique. It enables the production of excellent welded joints. Due to a number of intriguing benefits, the method works better than conventional fusion welding techniques. One of these benefits is its adaptability for a wide range of jobs.

  • Page 26: Lift Ignition Method

    Lift ignition method In less sophisticated DC welding, the arc can be struck by lightly brushing the electrode on the workpiece. The arc ignites, when the tungsten electrode tip comes into touch with the workpiece. The process is described below. ...
  • Page 27 The arc's intensity is proportional to the current flowing from the tungsten. To control the power of the arc, the welder alters the welding current. Thin material typically requires a less strong arc with less heat to melt the material, requiring less current (amps), whereas thicker material requires a more powerful arc with more heat, necessitating more current (amps).
  • Page 28 The heavier the gauge of the filler material required to fill up the joint, the thicker the material to be welded. As a result, as the electrode tip is fed into the pool, a heavy filler wire may come into contact with it. It is better to move the torch back and forth along the weld in this case.

  • Page 29: Tig Torch

    There are TIG torches available with self-cooling capacities of up to 250 amps. When higher amperages are required, water-cooled torches should be used. Since STICKWELDER 201D-Cell doesn’t have an autonomous gas system, it is required to choose a torch with a gas valve that allows the flow of gas to be shut off in between the welding operations.

  • Page 30: Tig Process Gas Cups

    TIG Process Gas Cups The purpose of the ceramic gas cup is to shield the tungsten and weld pool from oxidation when welding. There are nozzles of various sizes to provide the coverage required for the majority of applications. The most economical nozzles are made of 90 or 95 percent alumina oxide and are suitable for lower amperage applications.

  • Page 31: Gas Lens

    Gas Lens The electrode and molten metal are sufficiently insulated by a straight gas flow that is formed as a result of using the gas lens. The gas lens could cut down the gas flow by around 50%. The electrode stick-out may be increased to 15-20 mm, enabling easier access in small spaces and better welding process monitoring.
  • Page 32 Alloyed Tungsten Electrodes Alloyed tungsten electrodes, also known as rare earth tungsten electrodes, exceed traditional pure tungsten and help to maximize the operation's quality and productivity since they contain components like cerium or lanthanum. The right alloyed tungsten depends on the material being welded, the required amperage, and whether AC or DC welding current is used.
  • Page 33 Ceriated (Color Code: Gray) Ceriated tungsten electrodes are defined as having a minimum of 97.30 percent tungsten and 1.80 to 2.20 percent cerium. Ceriated tungsten works best in low current DC welding, and typically operates with around 10% less amps than Thoriated material. The Ceriated electrodes show a slower rate of vaporization or burn-off than pure tungsten.
  • Page 34 Tungsten Preparation A pointed electrode produces a narrower, more concentrated arc than rounded or unprepared tungsten electrodes. This helps welders maintain a constant bead width and prevent distortion by improving arc control and accurately directing heat at the weld junction. As shown, it is critical that the electrode tip be correctly grounded.
  • Page 35 The biggest health risk to welders is inhaling or ingesting thorium oxide dust created by grinding tungsten. In order to prevent such a hazardous situation, the use of the Canaweld Tungsten Electrode Grinder Utensil is highly advised The CANAWELD Premium Quality TIG Welding Tungsten Grinder is a...

  • Page 36: Tig Welding Parameters

    TIG Welding Parameters It is important to keep in mind that just the current is set on the welding equipment when determining the welding settings. The welder controls the arc length, which dictates the arc voltage. Therefore, the arc voltage increases as the arc length does. As a starting point, a welding current that is adequate for welding typically ranges between 40 and 45 amps per millimeter of workpiece thickness.
