Aluminium Welders

August 23, 2014AC DC Tig welders, Buying a welder, Inverter Welders, Multiprocess Welders, News, Product Spotlight, Products, Tig welders for sale, Tig Welding, Tig Welding Tungsten Electrodes, Welding Material

AC waves in Aluminium Welders allow the process of fusing aluminium components together to occur. During the GTAW process the polarity of the welding arc changes and is either removing aluminium oxide from the surface (tungsten positive) or adding heat to the weld pool (tungsten negative) . The AC tig welding process is best for aluminium welders and is only slightly exceeded by hybrid wave processes that include a DC component. The latest Hybrid wave Tig process injects a small DC interlude between the AC cycle. When performing a weld on aluminium […]

Upslope on a Tig welder

March 7, 2014AC DC Tig welders, Buying a welder, Products, Tig welders for sale, Tig Welding, Welding Guides

We are often asked about the upslope setting on a Tig welder, how does it work and what is it used for. Upslope is a control that allows the amperage to rise (slope up) over the period of time set for this setting. For example if you had set 5 seconds with an amperage of 120 Amps upon triggering the tig torch trigger the weld current would initially ignite at the minimum crater value and then increase gradually over the 5 second time period. If your drew a graph of […]

Tig Welder Water Coolers For High Amperage Welding

October 14, 2013News, Products, Tig torches, Tig Welding, Welding Guides, Welding Health & Safety

During TIG welding processes heat builds in the TIG torch. A TIG welder water cooler is used to remove this heat. TIG water coolers are a self contained unit that re made of an electric motor, a pump, a fan, a radiator and a holding tank or reservoir. TIG Water Cooler Operation Contrary to what you may think, the pump sucks water from the torch thus creating a low pressure zone in the TIG torch water return line. Atmospheric pressure forces water from the reservoir to rush toward the low pressure zone in order to establish equilibrium. As the […]

Inverter Welders Increase Productivity

AC DC Tig Welders Vs DC Tig Welders

September 25, 2013AC DC Tig welders, Buying a welder, Home, News, Products, Tig Welding, Welding Industry News

Customers often ask what benefits AC DC Tig welders have when compared to the humble DC Tig welder. Depending on the model of Tig welder will dictate the optional settings however the main difference is the ability to weld aluminium. If you are in the USA, ok ALUMINUM. Alternating current or AC when used in an ACDC tig welding machine allows electrons to flow to and from in the welding arc. When the electrons flow from tungsten to job we get penetration, when the electrons flow from job to tungsten […]

What is Plasma Cutting?

August 17, 2013Buying a welder, Clasifieds - For Sale, Home, Hypertherm Plasma Cutters, News, Plasma Cutter Parts, Plasma Cutters, Plasma Cutting, Product Spotlight, Welding Guides, Welding Health & Safety, Welding Industry News

WHAT IS PLASMA CUTTING? Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch. In this process compressed air is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma. The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away […]

What is arc welding?

August 17, 2013Buying a welder, Clasifieds - For Sale, Home, News, Welding Acronyms, Welding Health & Safety, Welding Industry News

WHAT IS ARC WELDING? Arc or MMA (Manual Metal Arc) Welding is the oldest example of currently used electric welding procedures, and perhaps the most straight forward to use and understand. The principle of arc welding is simple; a relatively large current is passed through a welding rod (or filler rod) of the appropriate metal (Mild steel for welding steel etc.) and a circuit is completed through it when it comes into contact with the earthed metal being welded. The join between the welding rod and the work being welded […]
