TIG Welding Introduction

  • The principle of argon arc welding: Argon arc welding is a welding method that uses the inert gas argon as the shielding gas. 
 
  • Characteristics of argon arc welding
    1. The weld seam is of high quality. Argon gas is an inert gas with good protection effect and can obtain high-quality welds.
    2. The welding deformation stress is small, which is especially suitable for the welding of thin parts and the bottom welding of pipelines.
    3. The welding range is wide, almost all metal materials can be welded.
 
  • Classification of argon arc welding:
    1. According to the motor material, argon arc welding can be divided into tungsten argon arc welding and melting argon arc welding.
    2. According to the power source, it can be divided into DC argon arc welding, AC argon arc welding and pulse argon arc welding.
 
  •  About wire feeding: 
    1. The outer filler wire can be used for bottoming and filling. It uses a relatively large current. The welding wire head is on the front of the groove. The left hand pinches the welding wire and continuously feeds it into the molten pool for welding. The groove gap requires small or no gap.
    2.The inner filler wire can only be used for bottom welding. The left thumb, index finger or middle finger is used to cooperate with the wire feeding action. The little finger and ring finger clamp the welding wire to control the direction, and the welding wire is close to the blunt edge on the inner side of the groove and melts together with the blunt edge. For welding, the groove gap is required to be greater than the diameter of the welding wire. If it is a plate, the welding wire can be bent into an arc.
