B-7 LEARNING T O WELD B-7 PRO 100 LEARNING T O WELD No one can learn to weld simply by reading about it. Skill comes only with practice. The following pages will help the inexperienced operator to understand welding and develop this skill. For more detailed infor- mation, order a copy of “ New Lessons in Arc Welding ” listed at the end of this [...]

B-8 LEARNING T O WELD B-8 PRO 100 The “ arc stream ” is seen in the middle of the picture. This is the electric arc created by the electric current flowing through the space between the end of the wire electrode and the base metal. The temperature of this arc is about 6000 ° F, which is more than enough to melt metal. The arc is very bright, a[...]

B-10 LEARNING T O WELD B-10 PRO 100 FIGURE B.12 Penetration Unless a weld penetrates close to 100% of the metal thickness, a butt weld will be weaker than the material welded together. In the example shown in Figure B.13, the total weld is only half the thickness of the material thus the weld is only approximately half as strong as the metal. FIGUR[...]

B-11 LEARNING T O WELD B-11 PRO 100 FIGURE B.16 Vertical-down Welding Refer to Figure B.17 Vertical-down welds are applied at a fast pace. These welds are therefore shallow and narrow and, as such, are excellent for sheet metal. Vertical-down welds may be applied to 5/32 ” (3.9 mm) and lighter material. Use stringer beads and tip the gun in the d[...]

B-12 LEARNING T O WELD B-12 PRO 100 ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. When using an open arc process, it Is necessary to use correct eye, head and body protection.

B-15 LEARNING T O WELD B-15 PRO 100 FIGURE B.24 3. The Correct Electrical Stickout (ESO) The electrical stickout (ESO) is the distance from the end of the contact tip to the end of the wire. See Figure B.24. Once the arc has been established, maintaining the correct ESO becomes extremely important. The ESO should be approximately 3/8 to 1/2 inch (1[...]

4. After you strike the arc, practice the correct electri- cal stickout. Learn to distinguish it by its sound. 5. When you are sure that you can hold the correct electrical stickout, with a smooth “ crackling ” arc, start moving. Look at the molten puddle constantly, 6. Run beads on a flat plate. Run them parallel to the top edge (the edge fart[...]
