RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 12. MIG Welding Further Explained MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, also known as GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) or MAG (Metal Active Gas Welding), is a semi-automatic arc welding process in which a consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
Page 26
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL Basic MIG Welding Good weld quality and weld profile depend on gun angle, the direction of travel, electrode extension (stick out), travel speed, the thickness of base metal, wire feed speed (amperage) and arc voltage. To follow are some basic guides to assist with your setup.
Page 27
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL Travel Angle The travel angle is the right to left, relative to the direction of welding. A travel angle of 5°- 15° is ideal and produces the right level of control over the weld pool. A travel angle higher than 20° will give an unstable arc condition with poor weld metal transfer, less penetration, high levels of spatter, weak gas shielding and a poor quality finished weld.
Page 28
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 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 welder's skill and is limited to the welder's ability to control the weld pool.
Page 29
Using poor quality milled wire can result in poor performance and appearance. To ensure optimal performance when welding, use standards approved wire such as UNIMIG HYPERMIG wire. Use a smaller diameter wire for thin base metals. For thicker materials use a larger wire diameter and larger machine.

RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 14. TIG Welding Guide DC TIG Welding The DC power source uses what is known as DC (direct current), in which the main electrical 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 37
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL TIG Welding Fusion Technique Manual TIG welding is often considered the most difficult of all the welding processes. Because the welder must maintain a short arc length, great care and skill are required to prevent contact between the electrode and the workpiece.
Page 38
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL Tungsten Preparation Always use DIAMOND wheels when grinding and cutting, and be weary of breathing the dust created by the tungsten. While tungsten is a tough material, the surface of a 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 contribute to weld inconsistency and weld defects.

Page 43
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 16. MMA: Welding Guide One of the most common types of arc welding is Manual Metal Arc welding, also known as MMA 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.
Page 44
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 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 45
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 17. MIG Trouble Shooting 1. Excessive Spatter • Wire feed speed set too high: Select lower wire feed speed. • Voltage too high: Select a lower voltage setting. • Wrong polarity set: Select the correct polarity for the wire being used - see machine setup guide.
Page 46
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 6. Lack of penetration - Shallow fusion between weld metal and base metal • Poor or incorrect joint preparation: Material too thick. Joint preparation and design needs to allow access to bottom of groove while maintaining proper welding wire extension and arc characteristics. Keep the arc at the leading edge of the weld pool and maintain the gun angle at 5°...
Page 47
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 18. TIG Troubleshooting 1. Tungsten burning away quickly • Incorrect gas or no gas: Use pure argon. Check cylinder has gas, connected, turned on, and torch valve is open. • Inadequate gas flow: Check the gas is connected, check hoses, gas valve and torch are not restricted.
Page 48
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 6. Arc wanders during welding • Poor gas flow: Check and set the gas flow between 8-12 L/min flow rate. • Amperage too low: Increase the amperage. • Incorrect arc length: Lower torch so that the tungsten is off of the work piece 2-5mm.
Page 49
RAZOR MULTI 175/220 OPERATING MANUAL 5. Lack of penetration • Insufficient heat input: Increase the amperage or choose a smaller electrode. • Poor welding technique: Use the correct welding technique or seek assistance for the correct technique. • Poor joint preparation: Check the joint design and fit up, make sure the material is not too thick. Seek assistance for the correct joint design and fit up.
