Everlastwelders - Understanding TIG Welding

In the past hundred years there has been not very any product made from steel or aluminum that in some way did not need welding. The most common welding system has been arc welding in several forms. The system in it is most basic form is actually simple. Take pieces of similar metal. Place them together and then apply a heat source sufficient to raise the metal close to its melting point. Then apply a filler metal and fuse the pieces together.

Basic arc welders use a machine able to producing an adjustable electrical current. Pass this current through a wire that has a tool at it is finish able to holding a coated welding rod. From the welding machine run a wire, called a ground, and attach it somewhere along the metal to be welded. Next place the welding rod against the metal in such a way that it completes the electrical circuit which creates an arc between the welding rod and the metal. This arc will produce heat which heats both pieces of metal and the rod itself melts in to the weld and when properly done both pieces of metal will be fused in to a single assembly. The system of coursework is more complex than this as the electrical arc must be adjusted for various thicknesses of metal and various coated rods will even be used depending on the make up of the metal.

A TIG welder, whose name is derived from the system, (tungsten inert gas), is a process that does not use the standard coated welding rod so common in basic arc welding. In lieu of coated welding rods to shield the weld various gasses are used.

This process works well for most common varieties of steel when the pieces to be joined are close to the same thickness. The basic arc welder does not work well when thick pieces need to be joined to thick pieces. It is impossible to properly control the heat produced by the arc that would permit the thick piece of metal to heat without melting the thinner piece. In addition exotic metals such as aluminum lots of times cannot be arc welded. In these situations the TIG welder excels.

In lieu of a clamp to hold a welding rod, the TIG welder has a holder called a torch that holds a short tungsten rod. The torch is also designed to emit a gas around the weld puddle which shields the weld from the atmosphere which would contaminate the weld.

TIG welders are also called Heli arc or GTIG, (gas tungsten inert gas), welders. This process while an advanced arc welder also makes use of a machine to produce an electrical current. A ground wire is also used. The current is again passed thru a wire but the difference at the business finish of this wire is the secret that makes this process work.

An important feature of this process is that the arc which produces the heat needed to fuse the metal is controlled by a foot pedal which makes it simple to adjust the heat to permit a narrow piece to be welded to a thick piece of material. A bare filler rod is usually used to complete the weld. In addition the tungsten rod is not consumed in the coursework of the welding system but must be reshaped as it wears away in the coursework of while welding.

The gas used varies again depending on the metal itself. Lots of gas mixtures are available but argon is probably the most common gas used. The torch also has a provision to circulate water within it to icy the torch.

This fundamentally describes the TIG welding system. Of coursework as with any metal working system there is much more involved as aluminum and other exotic metals are welded.

Plasma cutter working procedure

For many businesses and industries, the metal cutting is important and what is considered hard in those days are considered easy as nowadays and in that aspect the welding process have been made so easier. We often see in everyday life that metal is the hardest substance and especially the construction companies need best metal systems to work on their different working requirements. Today there are many welders available and among different types the plasma cutter is called as the best welding machine ever seen next to tig welder and arc welder. Most of the users don't know the working procedure of this machine and in this article; you can see the working procedure of this welder in brief. When the plasma cutters introduced into the market, it was in the size of small refrigerator, but now it came as small as possible with portability and comfort.

The plasma cutter can be plugged into any typical wall home outlet and it utilizes the electrical transformer with the internal circuitry and transforms the power of 120 v ac with the current drawn of 15 amperes. The typical voltage range is 20 to 50 v and it has the high output of 100 amperes and also, it creates the identifiable blue while cutting stream of electrical plasma. With its unique circuitry, it concentrates this electron flow into a stream of cutting power and the electrons can be seen when the trigger is pulled on the cutting torch handle. The intense plasma heats and melts the metal as a smaller diameter puddle. Another force is needed to push the puddle once it has been made and the compressed air is conducted through torch handle and released when trigger is pulled. Now you can get the stream of plasma and it creates the small diameter for fine line of cutting metal.
Due to the intense stream of plasma, the torch handle can be moved along the surface of material in speeds of 100 inches or more per minute. This property makes this welder to achieve the maximum speed and makes this welding machine as the high speed cutting apparatus. The arc of the plasma cut a 6 to 7 degree angle on the vertical face and metal pieces of ¼ inch or greater may be dressed with some electric grinder to have a true perpendicular angle in relation to the horizontal surface. To cut using any metal by using plasma arc system requires an arc that is created between work piece and nozzle and also, 50 to 60 volts is needed to maintain the arc. The electrodes are negatively charged and the work piece is positively charged and this setting ionizes the gas to carry the electron stream between nozzle and metal.

The arc itself has the capacity to melt the metal and due to high pressure, it welds the metal soon with ease and accuracy. These are the entire working procedure of plasma cutter and try to buy this excellent welding machine from a good welder shop and have a hassle free purchase that is filled with joy and satisfaction.

So the industries need some good welders and the machines they choose should be good in all aspects. Without welding, it is very sure we can’t get some of the electronic devices, bio medical applications, automobiles and battery pack applications. That much importance the welding machines have in manufacturing industries. Let us see some of the significant machines that are widely used in the manufacturing industries. arc welding is the second most welding process that have been in the existence after forge welding and this welding process creates an electric arc between the electrode and the base material by using the welding power supply.

It is an only welding process that uses both consumable and non consumable welding electrodes and also uses either ac or dc current. This welding process got developed soon and it is now widely used in aluminium and non ferrous material industries. The arc welders is the welding machines that is used to perform arc welding and it is widely used for general repair, fabrication, commercial industrial and factory maintenance and in agricultural industries. The arc welder is portable and has all the features to perform a good welding process and it is of Infineon igbt inverter type and has rated output dc amps. It has hot start with digital display and adaptive arc force control and runs in 240 v single phase.

The next welding process that is widely used is tig welding and it became popular during the year 1940's and as a result of this welding process, it has been propelled the use of aluminium for welding and structural processes. This welding process is used for both manual and high quality welding process and it is commonly used to weld aluminium, alloys, copper, magnesium and stainless steel. The manufacturing industries have acquired the great control over this welding process compared to other welding processes. The tig welder is the welding machine that is used for this welding and there are different varieties of tig welders available and each welders offer the good features with good control and welding process.

It is truly portable and economical too and has been made with best materials and inverter class. The different types of tig welders are of inverter type and of a class Infineon igbt.
