INTRODUCTION ( MIG )

It is convenient, under this heading, those applications which involve shielding the arc
with argon, carbon dioxide and mixture of argon with oxygen since the power source and
equipment is same except for the gas supply. In MIG, larger welding current gives greater
deposition rates. The process is suitable for welding aluminium, magnesium alloys, plain and
low-alloy steels,stainless and heat resistant steel, copper and bronze, the variation being filler
wire type of gas shielding the arc.

The consumable electrode of bare wire is carried on the spool and is fed manually
operated or fully automatic gun through an outer flexible cable by motor driven rollers of
adjustable speed and rate of burn-off the electrode wire must be balance by rate of wire speed.















METHOD OF WELD ( MIG )

Method of Initiating the Arc
1. The gun switch operates the gas and water solenoids and when released the wire drive is
switched on together with the welding current.
2. The gun switch operates the gas and water solenoids and strikes the wire end of the plates
operates the wire drive and welding current ( scratch start )
3. The gun operates the gas and water solenoids and wire feed with welding current
T Joint
1. Switch on the welding ,achine and cooling machine.
2. Adjust the electric current so that it is suitable for the metal
3. Connect the earth wire to the working table
4. Student is advice to wear safety equipment to prevent danger
5. Start the welding with
6. Angle of the welding must be 45 degree
7. Weld from right to left using speed of 0.4 to 0.6 m per minutes.
8. Weld with the movement of zig-zag
9. Make sure that both of the plate is connected.








INTRODUCTION ( TIG )

The welding of aluminium and magnesium alloys by oxy-acetylene and manual metal arc
process is limited by the necessity to use corrosive flux. Tungsten inert gas welding enables these
metal and a wide range of ferrous metal to be welded without the use of flux. The arc burns
between a tungsten electrode and the work piece within a shield of the inert gas argon , which
excludes the atmosphere and prevents contamination of electrode and molten metal. The hot
tungsten arc ionizes argon atom within the shield to form a gas plasma consisting of almost equal
numbers of free electrons and positive ions.


















METHOD OF WELD ( TIG )

TIG Welding Technique
1. Cleaned and clamped or tacked together the base metal and the welding can be started.
2. The arc is usually start when bringing the electrode near to the base metal.
3. A high frequency spark jumps across the gap and start to flow the welding current.
4. Steel, copper or alloys may be touched with the electrode without contamination to start
the arc.
5. One starts, the arc is held stationery until a liquid pool appears.
6. Highest current values and minimum gas flow should be used to produce clean, sound
welds of desired penetration.
