  • Page 15 MMA (Manual Metal Arc) Welding General Description 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 16: Mma (Stick) Welding Fundamentals

    MMA (Stick) Welding Fundamentals 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 17 Installation set up for DC TIG Welding with KUMJR200AC/DC (1) Turn on the machine using the ON/OFF switch (2) Select the TIG function with the TIG/MMA selector switch. (3) Select DC using the AC/DC selector switch. (4) Connect the Tig Torch connector to the negative terminal and tighten it.
  • Page 18 DC HF TIG Operation with KUMJR200AC/DC HF (high frequency) ignition allows the arc to be started in Tig welding without touching the tungsten to the work piece. By pressing the torch switch the machine will activate the gas flow and the HF ignition result- ing in the arc igniting across the gap between the tungsten electrode and the work piece.
  • Page 19 DC TIG Welding General Description 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 20 DC Pulse TIG Welding General Description 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 22: Tig Welding Fusion Technique

    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. Similar to Oxygen Acetylene torch welding, Tig welding normally requires two hands and in most instances requires the welder to manually feed a filler wire into the weld pool with one hand while manipulating the welding torch in the other.

  • Page 24 - Set up and operation for AC TIG Welding - KUMJR200AC/DC AC (alternating current) enables us to TIG weld non ferrous alloys like Aluminium, Aluminium Alloys and Magnesium. These materials have an insulating surface oxide layer that melts at a higher temperature than the base metal making it difficult to weld the base metal if the oxides are not removed.
  • Page 25 AC Welding AC (alternating current) enables us to TIG weld non ferrous alloys like Aluminium, Magnesium and Alumin- ium Alloys. These materials have an insulating surface oxide layer that melts at a higher temperature than the base metal making it difficult to weld the base metal if the oxides are not removed. AC welding current is ideal because the nature of the AC wave form assists in breaking the surface oxide layer.
  • Page 26 In older machines, a balanced current output wave was achieved using a large number of capacitors in series or a battery in the welding circuit. Modern 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. direct polarity current reverse polarity...

  • Page 28 Remote Amperage Controls - Installation and Operation Remote amperage controls allow for the welding current to adjusted remotely from the welding machine during welding. Generally there several types of remote amperage control available; (1) Hand amperage control located in the torch handle allowing the operator to adjust the welding current by rolling the potentiometer wheel to increase or decrease the amount of amperage desired.

  • Page 29: Tungsten Electrodes

    Tungsten Electrodes Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing TIG welding electrodes. The TIG process relies on tung- sten’s hardness 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. Tungsten electrodes are nonconsumable and come in a variety of sizes, they are made from pure tungsten or an al- loy of tungsten and other rare earth elements.

  • Page 30: Tungsten Preparation

    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 contribute to weld inconsistency and weld defects.
  • Page 31 Tungsten preparation AC Welding To obtain full current capacity from a pure or zirconiated tungsten electrode when used with AC current output the electrode is not ground to a point. The welding during positive polarity melts the point of the tungsten that becomes rounded.
