6. 6 GMAW Safety Fumes and Gases can be dangerous Keep your head out of the fumes Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area Local exhaust and mechanical ventilation can be used without reducing weld quality Electric Shock can kill – to receive a shock your body must touch the electrode and work or ground at the same time Do not touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or wet clothing Keep dry insulation between your body and the metal being welded or ground The coil of wire is ‘electrically hot’ when the trigger is pulled Arc Rays can injure eyes and skin -Choose correct filter shade (See chart below)

7. 7 GMAW Safety REMEMBER – Gas Cylinders require SPECIAL safety precautions Cylinders must be secured in an upright position Cylinders should be located in an area away from arc welding, cutting, heat, sparks, and flame Refer to ‘Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes’ (ANSI Z49.1) or Arc Welding Safety (E205) for more information on the handling of gas cylinders

8. 8 SECTION OVERVIEW: These slides are meant to lead into the discussion on the components involved with GMAW welding. TEACHER NOTES: Slides 8-16: When using these slides, discussion could include: With semi-automatic MIG welding, the electrode wire is fed through a welding gun controlled by the operator. The operator starts the arc and controls the puddle. In automatic MIG welding, a robot or automated machine makes the weld. An arc digs into the base metal much like water from a nozzle on a garden hose digs into the earth. (The flow of the water is like welding current and water pressure is similar to voltage) Molten metal forms a molten pool or crater and tends to flow away from the arc while cooling and solidifying. A continuous even flow of shielding gas is needed to protect the molten weld metal from atmospheric contaminants such as oxygen and nitrogen. The shielding gas comes from a gas cylinder and flows through the gun and cable assembly, through the gas nozzle, and into the welding zone.

10. 10 GMAW Circuit Three things happen when the GMAW gun trigger is pulled: The wire electrode begins to feed The circuit becomes electrically ‘hot’

11. 11 GMAW Components Let’s look a little closer at the GMAW process

12. 12 1 - Electrode A GMAW electrode is: A metal wire Fed through the gun by the wire feeder Measured by its diameter

13. 13 2 - Arc An electric arc occurs in the gas filled space between the electrode wire and the work piece

14. 14 3 - Weld Puddle As the wire electrode and work piece heat up and melt, they form a pool of molten material called a weld puddle This is what the welder watches and manipulates while welding

15. 15 4 - Shielding Gas GMAW welding requires a shielding gas to protect the weld puddle Shielding gas is usually CO2, argon, or a mixture of both

16. 16 5 - Solidified Weld Metal The welder “lays a bead” of molten metal that quickly solidifies into a weld The resulting weld is slag free

Check the gas nozzle. Turn the gas supply on. If adjustable, set for 15-20 cubic feet per hour (7 to 10 l/min.) under normal conditions increasing to as high as 35 CFH (17 l/min) in drafty and/or slightly windy conditions. The liner and contact tip should match that of the electrode diameter being used. The work clamp must be grounded to the work piece. Be sure to make a good connection.

21. 21 GMAW Process Variables Welding variables Wire Feed Speed (WFS) Voltage Operator controlled variables Travel speed Gun angles Contact tip to work distance (CTWD) Gas flow rate

22. 22 SECTION OVERVIEW: These slides discuss striking an arc and making a weld using the GMAW process. TEACHER NOTES: Slides 22-26: Teacher might want to discuss … Once the arc has been established, maintaining the correct contact tip to work distance (CTWD) becomes extremely important. The CTWD should be approximately 3/8 to ½ inch (10-12 mm) long. The easiest way to tell if CTWD is right length is to listen to the sound. If the CTWD is too short the wire electrode can fuse to the contact tip. It also causes the arc voltage to raise resulting in a flat bead shape, increase in spatter and possible undercut. If the CTWD is too long the electrode can stub out. It also causes the arc voltage to drop resulting in a ropey and convex bead, increase in spatter and possible loss of gas shielding.

24. 24 Laying a Bead Maintain a Contact Tip to Work Distance (CTWD) of 3/8” to 1/2” Use a uniform travel speed Most Importantly – Watch the Puddle!

25. 25 Fill the Crater Fill the crater by pausing or using a slight back step Release gun trigger and pull gun away from the work after the arc goes out Large craters can cause weld cracking

26. 26 Restarting a Bead Restart the weld bead by back stepping into the last weld’s crater and then continue moving forward This technique should result in a seamless transition from one weld to the next

27. 27 SECTION OVERVIEW: These slides discuss two conventional modes of metal transfer: short arc and spray arc TEACHER NOTES: Slides 27-31: Short Arc Transfer The wire shorts to the base material, the molten metal is pinched off and transferred to the weld puddle. Common gas mixtures for short arc: 100% CO2 or 75% Argon/ 25% CO2 Typical applications include thin materials, out of position welding, joints with poor fit up, root pass on pipe and when using 110V welders. Axial Spray Arc Transfer Very high currents are used in axial spray arc transfer (or spray arc). The current level must be above the transition level and the shielding gas must contain at least 80% Argon. A point forms at the end of the electrode and fine droplets of molten metal ‘spray’ across the arc. The droplets are equal to or smaller than the electrode diameter and are directed axially in a straight line to the weld puddle. Typical applications include thick materials, flat and horizontal welding, structural fabrication, heavy machinery and aluminum welding.

29. 29 Modes of Metal Transfer Two common conventional modes of metal transfer are: Short arc Axial spray arc The application, joint design, base material thickness, and properties determine the appropriate mode to use

30. 30 Short Arc Transfer In short arc transfer… The arc is initiated and a droplet is formed on the end of the wire The wire touches the work piece and produces a short circuit The droplet is then transferred to the weld puddle

31. 31 Axial Spray Arc Transfer In axial spray arc transfer … Very high currents are used A point forms at the end of the electrode and the fine droplets The puddle is very fluid making out of position welding difficult

34. 34 SECTION OVERVIEW: This section is meant to lead into a discussion regarding the advantages and limitations of the GMAW welding process. TEACHER NOTES: Slides 34-36: Advantages High operating factor: The welder does not have to stop and clean slag or change electrodes. Easy to learn: GMAW is easier to learn than Stick welding Clean process with little or no slag and spatter - High efficiency (93-98%) Welds can be made on a wide variety of metals and alloys. Can be done in all welding positions Disadvantages: Less portable – Gun lengths are often only 15 feet long. More expensive due to higher equipment price than SMAW and the need for a gas bottle. Shielding gas can be blown away by winds so GMAW may require special precautions when welding outdoors or in drafty areas. In spray arc transfer - the process radiates a lot of heat Difficult to use in out of position joints For more information on GMAW consumables and gases, see the Lesson Plan Facilitator’s Guide or GMAW Welding Guide available through Lincoln Electric SECTION OVERVIEW: This section is meant to lead into a discussion regarding the advantages and limitations of the GMAW welding process.
