H2 - Understanding the Basics of TIG Welding.
TIG welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is a welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create the weld. The process involves creating an arc between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece, while a shielding gas is used to protect the weld pool from contamination. The Lincoln Electric TIG welder utilizes advanced technology to ensure precise and clean welds.
H3 - Setting Up the Welder.
To begin TIG welding with a Lincoln Electric machine, you first need to properly set up the welder. This includes choosing the appropriate settings for the type and thickness of the material being welded. The TIG welder allows you to control parameters such as amperage, AC/DC output, and pulse settings. These settings can be adjusted on the machine's control panel to achieve the desired welding results.
H3 - Striking an Arc.
Once the welder is set up, the next step is to strike an arc. This is done by lightly tapping the tungsten electrode against the workpiece while simultaneously pressing the foot pedal to activate the welding current. The arc will then form between the electrode and the workpiece, generating the heat needed to melt the metal and create the weld pool.
H3 - Welding Technique.
With the arc struck, the welder can begin the welding process. The key to TIG welding is controlling the heat input and movement of the torch to create a consistent and clean weld bead. The welder must maintain a steady travel speed and torch angle while adding filler material to the weld pool as needed. This technique requires skill and practice to achieve high-quality welds.
H3 - Shielding Gas Protection.
Throughout the welding process, a shielding gas is used to protect the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination. The Lincoln Electric TIG welder is equipped with a gas flow meter to regulate the flow of shielding gas around the weld area. This ensures that the weld quality is maintained by preventing the formation of defects such as porosity or oxidation.
H3 - Completing the Weld.
Once the welding is complete, the welder can carefully remove the torch from the workpiece to allow the weld to cool. Inspecting the weld for any defects and ensuring proper penetration and fusion is crucial to the quality of the weld. By following the correct procedures with the Lincoln Electric TIG welder, welders can consistently produce high-quality and precise welds.
