Aluminium welder processes involve an AC arc

Aluminium Welders

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 […]

A graph showing the up slope setting on a tig welder

Upslope on a Tig welder

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

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 […]

AC DC Tig Welders Vs DC Tig Welders

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 […]

When it comes to Tig Torch Assembly one of the greatest areas for causing problems is incorrect torch assembly. To make it easy we have attached an images detailing the tig torch assembly order. 1. The collet holder screws onto the tig torch from the direction of the white insulator cup. 2. The pink ceramic screws over the collet holder. 3. The tig tungsten electrode is inserted into the tig torch collet. 4. The tig collet is inserted into the collet holder from the back of the torch and allowed to […]

IGBT Inverter welders with IGBT transistors welding machines

New welding machines, those now called IGBT Inverter Welders feature a different type of transistor that operates at the welder’s core. IGBT or Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors can be manufactured to operate at any current as opposed to MOSFET types that are limited to 20/30 amps. As a result IGBT transistors do not need to be connected in parallel which can increase reliability dramatically. IGBT welding machines are the new favourite amongst Tig Welders although these days there is not much difference in reliability between IGBT inverter welding machines and […]

Welding Slag Arc Welding Procedure

Welding slag can be problematic during the arc welding process.  If you didn’t know about whatwelding slag is then please read on.  Slag is the leftover remains of the weld process that is a result of the flux having done its job.  Slag is formed from the flux, decomposing into either a shielding gas, or deoxidizers, which form molten compounds that cover the weld while it cools to prevent oxidation of the freshly formed weld. Welding slag is usually gray, brown, or a charcoal black in color.   It can be composed of several different oxides and it […]
