Process welding guideStick electrode welding (MMA)Welding directionCoatingArcWeld poolParent materialElectrode coreShielding atmosphereMolten slagSolidified slagSolidified weld metalIn this welding process, an electric arc is created between a coated consumable electrodeand the work piece to be welded, causing the parent material to be fused together andthe electrode to melt. The electrode is of similar material as the parent material, and bymelting provides the weld (or joint) with a reinforcing filler material. The electrode may becoated with basic, rutile or cellulose material, and as the coating burns it protects the arcand weld pool from the atmosphere with a gaseous shroud, the slag which solidifies overthe newly deposited weld also protects it from the atmosphere.Process welding guides6The power source gives constant current at the output (CC) and depending on appliedstick electrode, can supply AC or DC current. Usually the best quality welds you can receive using DC characteristic.The output current level depends on stick electrode diameter, dimensions and thicknessof welded material. Also very important is welding position. Generally speaking – smallerdimensions of welded material equals smaller diameter of the stick electrode and outputcurrent.
Process welding guideMIG/MAG Process (Gas shielded MIG/MAG welding)GunNozzleShielding gasArcWeld poolSolidifield weld metalContact tipWelding directionSolid wire or Flux-cored wireShielding atmosphereParent materialThe MIG/MAG welding process (or GMAW – Gas Metal Arc Welding) is when an electricArc is created between a continuous consumable wire and the work piece to be welded,protected within a gas atmosphere. This atmosphere can be either inert (Argon) or active(CO2 or mixture of Argon and CO2).The wire is continuously fed through a gun to the weld pool by a wire feeder. Either SolidWire (GMAW) or Cored Wire (FCAW-GS – flux-cored arc welding, gas shielding) can beused.MIG/MAG Process (Self shielded Flux-Cored welding)GunGun tube insulator / thread protectionArcWeld poolContact tipShielding atmosphereFlux-cored wireMolten slagParent materialSolidifield slagSolidifield weld metalInnershield welding is an Arc welding process in which welding heat is created from an arcbetween a continuous flux cored wire and the work piece. The flux provides gas shieldingfor the arc and a slag covering of the weld deposit.MIG/MAG welding is recommended for welding all metals, including stainless steeland aluminium alloys. It is also faster process than stick electrode welding (MMA)Process welding guidesWelding direction7
Process welding guidePlasma cuttingPlasma cutting is a process which uses an electric arc and air. When the air is flowingthrough the electric arc started between two electrodes it becomes ionised and thanks toa large density of power the plasma arc appears. A nozzle mounted in the torch focusesthe arc.High temperature inside the plasma arc and very high speed of the plasma stream blowsout the molten material from the gap.For plasma cutting we are using DC (-) supplied from an inverter based power sources.Using plasma cutting you can cut all construction materials that are conductive.Thank to high temperature of the plasma stream it is possible to start cutting immediately,without pre-heating.Basic parameters of plasma cutting: Cutting current (A), Cutting voltage (V), Cutting speed (m/min), Air pressure (MPa), Adjustment of the cutting electrode by the operator, Diameter of cutting nozzle (mm), Position of the torch.Process welding guides8Using hand cutting the operator should only adjust the cutting speed and distancebetween the electrode and base material. The rest of parameters are constant on thelevel which was previously set by operator.Depending on the base material you may have to use different plasma gases e.g. Oxygen,air, nitrogen, argon and mixes of argon/hydrogen or nitrogen/argon.Plasma cutting is a fast and clean process. As a result you achieve clean and smoothedges. It is also a less expensive and a comfortable way of cutting as compressed air ischeaper than other gases. In other words it is very easy and user friendly – the operatordoes not have to be very skilled or experienced.
Process welding guideUseful informationWelding transformerIt is used to supply an electric arc which allows the parent material to melt and fuse together,a filler material of similar chemical composition as the parent material can be used to fill theweld joint. The power source is a transformer supplied with 230 V or 400 V input voltage. As anoutput it gives the current with low voltage but high amperage. To get the arc you have to connect the ground cable to the work piece and place a welding electrode in the electrode holderand scratch the electrode. Generally transformers are the power sources for MMA welding andMIG/MAG where you use the continuous welding wire instead as a consumable electrode.The inverterThe inverter can be supplied with 230 V or 400 V input voltage. The difference comparedto the transformer is that inverter changes the frequency of input voltage. Increasingthe frequency (much more than 50 Hz from the network) it is also possible to get veryhigh current from small transformers and the advantage of inverter are small weight anddimensions. It is mainly used for stick electrode welding (MMA) and TIG welding.Welding consumablesWelding consumables are the filler materials which have the same or very similar composition to the base material. The base material and the consumable are melted with theelectric arc and after solidifying giving the appearance of the weld. Welding consumablesare mainly stick electrodes, welding wire and TIG wire.The table of stick electrode diameter and current is depending on thickness of base materialDiameter of the electrode (mm)Current (A)0,8 – 1,41,635 – 521–2252 – 752–32,575 – 1003–43,2100 – 1324 – 104132 – 175Duty cycleThe duty cycle of a welding machine is the percentage of time in a 10 minute cycle atwhich the welder can operate the machine at rated welding current.

The output current level depends on stick electrode diameter, dimensions and thickness of welded material. Also very important is welding position. Generally speaking – smaller dimensions of welded material equals smaller diameter of the stick electrode and output current. Process welding guide
