LEARNING TO 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.Increase stickout.

4.Increase WFS (wire feed speed).

5.Decrease drag angle.

6.Decrease travel speed.

NOTE: Always be sure the joint is free from moisture, oil, rust, paint or other contaminants.

To Eliminate a Ropy Convex Bead (in order of importance):

1.Increase voltage.

2.Decrease stickout.

3.Decrease WFS (wire feed speed.

4.Decrease travel speed.

5.Decrease drag angle.

6.Check for correct gas, if used.

APRENDIENDO A SOLDAR

LOCALIZACIÓN DE AVERÍAS EN SOLDADURAS

Las soldaduras adecuadas tienen una excelente apariencia.

Para Eliminar la Porosidad (por orden de importancia):

1.Si se utiliza, encienda el suministro de gas.

2.Disminuya el voltaje.

3.Aumente la punta electrizada de alambre.

4.Aumente la velocidad de alimentación de alambre (WFS).

5.Disminuya el ángulo de avance.

6.Disminuya la velocidad de avance.

NOTA: Siempre asegúrese de que la unión no esté húmeda, ni tenga aceite, óxido, pintura o cualquier otro contaminante.

Para Eliminar los Cordones Convexos (por orden de importancia):
