WELD-PAK 100 B-6 OPERA TION thinner, CO 2 gas is recommended because it gives equal or better performance than a blended gas at a lower cost. A mixed gas consisting of 75 to 80% Argon and 20 to 25% CO 2 is recommended for welding on heavier gauge [12 gauge (2,5 mm) for example] steel. The WELD-PAK 100 is suitable for .035" aluminum wire and .0[...]

WELD-PAK 100 B-7 LEARNING T O WELD 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 weld- ing and develop this skill. For more detailed informa- tion, order a copy of “New Lessons in Arc Welding” listed at the end of this[...]

WELD-PAK 100 B-8 LEARNING T O WELD 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, as w[...]

WELD-PAK 100 B-1 1 LEARNING T O WELD Helpful Hints 1. For general welding, it is not necessary to weave the arc, neither forward or backward nor sideways. Weld along at a steady pace. You will find it easier. 2. When welding on thin plate, you will find that you will have to increase the welding speed, whereas when welding on heavy plate, it is nec[...]

WELD-PAK 100 B-13 LEARNING T O WELD FIGURE B.17 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.17. 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[...]

WELD-PAK 100 B-14 LEARNING T O WELD 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 paral[...]

FIGURE B.24 Vertical-down Welding Refer to Figure B.25 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 direction of travel so the arc force h[...]

WELD-PAK 100 B-16 LEARNING T O WELD TROUBLESHOOTING WELDS Good welds have excellent appearance. To Eliminate Porosity (in order of importance): 1. Turn on gas supply, if used 2. Decrease voltage. 3.
