MIG intro
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The three main types of transfer for MIG? | Short Circuit, Globular, Spray |
The main voltage type for Semi-Automatic welding? | CV Current Voltage |
What is the job of a flow meter? | The flowmeter controls the rate of flow of shielding gas to the gun; calibrated by a volume flow rate in litres per minute (L/min) or cubic feet per hour (CFH). It tells you the pressure of the gas being used. |
Drive rolls used? | V-groove, U-groove, Knurled |
Duty Cycle | The amount of time a machine can be used in 10 minute intervals without needing a break for example 60% would run for 6 minutes and then need a 4 minute break |
In Semi-automatic welding you control? | The wire feed speed and voltage |
Drive rolls are | Specific to the diameter of wire being used, you need to be mindful not to use too large or too small of wire on drive rolls |
DCEP Direct Current Electrode Positive | is used with GMAW, FCAW-G, MCAW |
The jog function controls what? | It feeds deenergized wire without using gas |
What are some causes of Birds Nesting? | Too much pressure on the drive rolls, wires breaking in the gun, kinked liner |
What do rupture discs do? | If the cylinder becomes too hot or has excessive pressure, the rupture disc will release and slowly allow the gas to escape avoiding an explosion. |
Are gas cylinders colour coated? | No |
Shielding gasses used in Semi-Automatic Welding | Argon and C02 |
