Everlastwelders – All You Need to Know about Tig welders

One of the welding processes that grants greater control over other welding process and allow for stronger and higher quality welds is called as tig welding and it is normally used to weld thin sections of stainless steel, aluminium and more metals in an easy way. There is always a myth surrounding this welding process and it is, this process in more complex to weld and difficult to master, but it is not true now. Yes, once upon a time, this fact was true, but now everything has been changed and in the market, you can find a welder that welds excellently and efficiently. That much development has been made in this process. In this article, let us see about the tig welder and all about it. Tig stands for tungsten inert gas welding and it uses the consumable electrode called tungsten electrode to produce the weld.

The tig welder is generally more advanced than mig welding and with sufficient practice and capability; anyone can become as the master of this welder and can do the welding process in an easy way. Most of the buyers who buy this welder appreciate this unit due to its portability and economy and it is designed to weld any type of steel or stainless material. This welding machine makes repair easy in the field and it fits neatly into about any settings. This welder is fully capable of handling business on its own since it has the unique amperage of combination and features. There are different types of tig welding machines available and they are power I-tig200, powertig 185 micro, powertig 200DX, powertig 225LX, powertig 250EX and powertig 315DX. All these types of welders are of inverter type and it is of Infineon IGBT inverter type.

All these types of tig welder have over current warning facility and has maximum input amps and running amps. These welding machines are stable and has smooth arc characteristic with good puddle wet in. It is portable and light weight and adjustable welding parameters for welding operation. It has good duty cycle and it can withstand for many hours and do not leave out any poisonous or polluted gases so these welders are also called as environment and user friendly welding machines. It has a pulse function that increases the weld quality and reduces the overall heat input. It is easy to connect and the accessories allow you to set up this machine quickly and easily. You can take it anywhere you go since it is compact and portable.

This welding machine is fully of digital type and has digital readout for accurate setting of amperage and control. It is suitable to use anywhere since it has been protected properly. You can use this tig welding machine in all types of applications and can achieve good and quality welding. If you buy this welding machine, it is sure that you can enjoy numerous benefits from this welding machine.

An overview of TIG welder Settings   by Oleg Gladshteyn

There is a general misconception that welding is quite simple to learn. It is nothing but joining two or more metal pieces with the help of a molten solution that forms the necessary bond between them after solidification upon cooling. Theoretically speaking, it is nothing more than that. But there is more to welding that you ought to know if you wish to become a professional welder. Welding is no joke by any means as there are lot complications associated with it. Which metal pieces are to be joined together? What’s nature of those metals? Which procedure or welder to use to weld them? What settings to imply in order to get a proper yield?

Welding as such is an art that requires tremendous amount of focus and concentration on your part. The slightest mistake is more than enough to spoil the quality of your weld or the quality of your end product. And if such a product goes into manufacturing and then deployment, depending upon the end product that used the welded portion, it could lead to several other possible disastrous consequences. Say for example, medical systems that makes use of welded spare parts. If such a system fails or explodes while it’s functioning, it could turn out to be quite disastrous. Thus it is very important, that you understand the intricacies and imperative requirements when it comes producing quality welds. On this note it is very important that you set the systems, gadgets and other resources employed while welding appropriately irrespective of whether you are using a MIG welder or a TIG welder.

Let us take a look into the TIG welding Inverter Settings for a brief understanding.

i) Amperage: Reading of the Amps supplied from time to time.
ii) Alternating Current Frequency: The inverter regulates the incoming power frequency before converting it into DC. The same knob allows you to handle much higher frequencies. It increases the focus of your welding arc as well which is critical and imperative at times.
iii) A/C Balance: A/C contains both positive as well as negative electrodes that changes dynamically from time to time. TIG inverters give you the flexibility to adjust this input balance depending upon what you are welding.
iv) 2T: TIG inverters bypass the 2T and 4T settings as the amperage control overrides up-slope and down-slope stuff. 2T gives you a flexible option that converts the torch switch into a 2 position switch. You get an arc when you press this switch and it terminates when you don’t.
v) 4T: 4T setting is used in conjunction with up-slope and down-slope settings. In this setting, upon pressing the switch an arc is created. Letting go of the switch, arc up-slopes to main amperage value setting. Proceed with welding. Press the button, arc down-slopes to lower amperage, letting go of the switch, the arc terminates.
vi) Pre Flow: Total time of gas flow between the time you press the switch and the arc is generated is projected by Pre Flow.
vii) Post Flow: Total time of gas flow after the arc terminates is projected by Post Flow.
viii) Up-Slope: Steps up the current to whatever levels or rates you set from start amperage to operating main amperage.
ix) Down-Slope: Steps down the current to whatever levels you set.
x) Start Amps: Low amperage startup
xi) End Amps: Estimates final amperage before arc quits.
xii) Pulse Frequency: Pulse generated per second. Higher pulse rates help to focus the arc more efficiently.
xiii) Peak Pulse Percentage: Gives you more control over pulse generated allowing you to limit heat input or agitate puddle.
xiv) Pulse Width: Duration of high pulse amperage that stays on.
