GLOSSARY OF WELDING TERMS

AC or Alternating Current – electric current that reverses direction periodically.
Sixty cycle current travels in both directions sixty times per second.
Arc Length – the distance from the end of the electrode to the point where the arc makes contact with the work surface.
Base Metal – the material to be welded.
Butt Joint – a joint between two members aligned approximately in the same plane.
Crater – a pool, or pocket, that is formed as the arc comes in contact with the base metal.
DC or Direct Current – electric current which flows only in one direction. The polarity (+ or -) determines which direction the current is flowing.
DC Reverse Polarity – occurs when the electrode holder is connected to the positive pole of the welding machine. Reverse Polarity directs more heat into melting the electrode rather than the work piece. It is used on thinner material.
DC Straight Polarity – occurs when the electrode holder is connected to the negative pole of the welding machine. With straight polarity more heat is directed to the work piece for better penetration on thicker material.
Electrode – a coated metal wire having approximately the same composition as the material being welded.
Fillet Weld – approximately a triangle in cross-section, joining two surfaces at right angles to each other in a lap, T or corner joint.
Flux – a coating, when heated, that produces a shielding gas around the welding area. This gas protects the parent and filler metals from impurities in the air.
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) – also called Gasless, is a welding process used with a wire-feed welding machine. The weld wire is tubular with flux material contained inside for shielding.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) – also called MIG, is a welding process used with a wire feed welding machine. The wire is solid and an inert gas is used for shielding.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) – also called TIG, is a welding process used with welding equipment with a high frequency generator. The arc is created between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the work piece. Filler metal may or may not be used.
Lap Joint – a joint between two overlapping members in parallel planes. Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) – the voltage between the electrode and the work clamp of the welding machine when no current is flowing (not welding). The OCV determines how quickly the arc is struck.
Overlap – occurs when the amperage is set too low. In this instance, the molten metal falls from the electrode without actually fusing into the base metal.
Porosity – gas pockets, or cavities, formed during weld solidification. They weaken the weld.
Penetration – the depth into the work piece that has been heat effected by the arc during the welding process. A good weld achieves 100% penetration meaning that the entire thickness of the work piece has been heated and resolidified. The heat effected area should be easily seen on the opposite side of the weld.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) – also called Stick, is a welding process with uses a consumable electrode to support the arc. Shielding is achieved by the melting of the flux coating on the electrode.
Slag – a layer of flux soot that protects the weld from oxides and other contaminants while the weld is solidifying (cooling). Slag should be removed after weld has cooled.
Spatter – metal particles thrown from the weld which cool and harden on the work surface. Spatter can be minimized by using a spatter resistant spray on the work piece before welding.
Tack Weld – weld made to hold parts in proper alignment until final welds are made.
Travel Angle – the angle of the electrode in the line of welding. It varies from 5º to 45º depending on welding conditions.
T Joint – made by placing the edge of one piece of metal on the surface of the other piece at approximately a 90º angle.
Undercut – a condition that results when welding amperage is too high. The excessive amperage leaves a groove in the base metal along both sides of the bead which reduces the strength of the weld. Weld Pool or Puddle – a volume of molten metal in a weld prior to its solidification as weld metal.
Weld Bead – a narrow layer or layers of metal deposited on the base metal as the electrode melts. Weld bead width is typically twice the diameter of the electrode.
Work Angle – the angle of the electrode from horizontal, measured at right angles to the line of welding.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR UNIT

COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS

1. Work Clamp – connect to work piece
2. Electrode Holder – holds electrode welding rod
3. Power Cord – plug into 115 volt outlet.

5. Indicator Light – light activates if thermostat has automatically shut unit off.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location
Selecting the proper location can significantly increase performance, reliability and life of the arc welder.

• For best results locate welder in a clean and dry environment. Dust and dirt in the welder retain moisture and increase wear of moving parts.
• Store electrodes in a clean, dry location with low humidity to preserve the flux coating.
• The receptacle used for the welder must be properly grounded and the welder must be the only load on the power supply circuit. Refer to the Circuit Amps chart on page 6 for correct circuit capacity.
• Use of an extension cord is not recommended for electric arc welding machines. Voltage drop in the extension cord may significantly degrade performance of the welder.

NOTE: If you have never welded before or have little experience, a full face helmet is recommended. Both hands are needed to stabilize and control the angle and arc length of the electrode.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure to read, understand and comply with all precautions in the General Safety Instructions section. Be sure to read entire “Welding Guidelines” section before using this equipment.

2. Turn welder off and plug into appropriate receptacle:  115v-15 amp – Low  115v-20 amp – High

3. Verify surfaces of metals to be joined are free from dirt, rust, paint, oil, scale or other contaminants. These contaminants make welding difficult and cause poor welds.
   All person oparating this equipment or in the arer while equipment is in use must wear protective welding gear including: eye protection with proper shade 10, flame resistantclothing, leather welding gloves and full foot protection. aera eht ni ro tnempiuqe siht gnitarepo snosrep .
   All  plated, lead, or cadmium plated materials, refer to the General Safety Instructions Section for instructions. Extremely toxic fumes are created when these metals are heated. ,gnitaeh dezinavlag gnittuc ro gnidlew.

4. Connect the work clamp to the work piece. Make sure the contact is on bare metal and not obstructed by paint, varnish, corrosion, or nonmetallic materials.

5. Insert the exposed part of the electrode rod (the end with no flux) into the jaws of the electrode holder.
   The electrode holder and rod are electrically “live” (current potential) when the welder is on.
   Grounding against any metallic surface may produce an arc which could cause sparks and damage eyesight

6. Hold the electrode away from the grounded work piece or workbench. Turn on the welder to either High or Low. Refer to the following chart for proper output setting.
   ELECTRODE DIAMETER| OUTPUT  SETTING
   ---|---
   6.1( .ni 61/1)mm| LOW
   2( .ni 46/5)mm| HIGH

7. Position the electrode to begin weld, lower the welding helmet or position the hand shield, and strike an arc. Adjust output setting asneeded.

8. When finished welding, turn welder off and store properly.

Duty Cycle / Thermostatic Protection
Welder duty cycle is the percentage of actual weld time that can occur in a ten minute interval. For example, at a 10% duty cycle, actual welding can occur for one minute, then the welder must cool for nine minutes.
Internal components of this welder are protected from overheating with an automatic thermal switch. A amber lamp is illuminated on the front panel if the duty cycle is exceeded. Welding operations may continue when the amber lamp is no longer illuminated.

WELDING GUIDELINES

General
This welding machine utilizes a process known as Shielded Metal-Arc Welding (SMAW). This process is used to bond metals by heating them with an electric arc created between the electrode and the work piece. Electrodes used for shielded metal arc welding have two parts. The inner core is a metal rod or wire that should be similar in composition to the base metal.
The outer coating is called flux. Various types of flux exist. Each coating is used for a particular welding situation.While the metal is molten, it can be contaminated by elements in the air. This contamination could weaken the weld. The flux coating creates a protective barrier called slag that protects the molten metal from contaminants.
When current (amperage) flows through the circuit to the electrode, an arc is formed between the end of the electrode and the work piece. The arc melts the electrode and the work piece. The melted metal of the electrode flows into the molten crater and forms a bond with the work piece as shown in Figure 6.
STRIKING AN ARC
Attach work clamp to work piece. The jaws of the work clamp must make good contact with clean bare metal of the work piece for good welding results.
Place the bare end of the electrode in the holder. Grip the holder lightly to reduce tiring of the hand and arm.
NOTE: Always keep the jaws of the holder clean to ensure good electrical contact with the electrode.
Be careful not to touch the work piece or welding bench with the electrode as this causes arc flashes.

The best method of striking an arc is the scratching method. Drag the electrode at an angle along the surface much like striking amatch. Upon contact with the plate, lift the electrode approximately 1/16 in. off the surface or it will stick (See Figure 7).

NOTE: Should the electrode stick to the work piece, break it loose by quickly twisting or bending at the holder while pulling upward. If the electrode does not break loose, disengage the electrode by releasing it from the holder.
ELECTRODE TYPE AND SIZE
Two types of electrodes are recommended for this welder. The electrodes are commonly known by the AWS (American Welding Society) designation as follows:

1. E-6013 General Purpose
   • All position, smooth deposit rod with low spatter.
   • For all mild steel and general purpose work.

2. E-7014 Fast fill
   • Smooth bead and fast deposition
   • Ideal for joints with poor fitup and general repair work
   NOTE: E-6011 and E-7018 are not recommended for use with these welders.
   Recommended electrode diameter is 1/16 inch or 5/64 inch.

Arc Welding Basics
Four basic techniques affect weld quality. These are: amperage setting, weld angle, arc length, and travel speed. Proper use of these techniques is necessary for good weld quality.
AMPERAGE SETTING
The correct amperage involves the adjustment of the welding machine to the required amp setting. This is regulated by selecting the appropriate high or low setting. The amperage required depends on the size (diameter) of electrode used and the thickness of the work piece. Excessive currents burn through light metals and the weld bead is flat and porous (See Figure 9). The bead appears high and irregular if the current is too low.
WELD ANGLE
Weld angle is the angle at which the electrode is held during the welding process. Using the correct angle ensures proper penetration and bead formation. As different welding
positions and weld joints become necessary, nozzle angle becomes an increasingly important factor in obtaining a satisfactory weld.
Weld angle involves two positions – travel angle and work angle.
Travel angle is the angle in the line of welding and may vary from 5º to 45º from the vertical, depending on welding conditions.
Work angle is the angle from horizontal, measured at right angles to the line of welding.
For most applications, a 45º travel angle and 45º work angle is sufficient. For specific applications, consult an arc welding handbook.
NOTE: Right handed welders should weld from left to right. Left handed welders should weld from right to left. The electrode should always point into the weld puddle as shown.

Arc Length
Arc length is the distance from the work piece to the tip of the electrode, the distance which the arc must travel. A proper arc length is essential to generate the heat needed for welding (See Figure 9). An arc that is too long produces an unstable arc, reduces penetration, increases spatter, and causes flat and wide beads. Too short an arc does not create enough heat to melt the work piece, the electrode has a tendency to stick, penetration will be poor, and uneven beads with irregular ripples result. A proper arc should be no longer than the diameter of the rod. The sound of a proper arc is a steady, crisp sizzle, similar to bacon frying.
Travel Speed
The travel speed is the rate at which the electrode is moved across the weld area (See Figure 9). When the speed is too fast, the bead is narrow and bead ripples are pointed as shown. When the speed is too slow, the weld metal piles up and the bead is high and wide. To control travel speed, watch the width of the weld bead (not the arc) when welding. The weld bead is the orange, molten metal behind the arc. The width should be approximately twice the diameter of the welding rod. Control travel speed to obtain a
consistent bead width.
Slag Removal Wear ANSI approved safety glasses (ANSI Standard Z87.1) and protective clothing when removing slag. Hot, flying debris can cause personal injury to anyone  in the area.
After completing the weld, wait for the welded sections to cool. A protective coating called slag now covers the weld bead which prevents contaminants in the air from reacting with the molten metal. Once the weld cools to the point that it is no longer glowing red, the slag can be removed. Removal is done with a chipping hammer. Lightly tap the slag with the hammer and break it loose from the weld bead. The final clean-up is done with a wire brush. When making multiple weld passes, remove the slag between each pass.
Welding Positions
Four basic welding positions can be used; flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead. Welding in the flat position is easier than any of the others because welding speed can be increased, the molten metal has less tendency to run, better penetration can be achieved, and the work is less fatiguing. Other positions require different techniques such as a weaving pass, circular pass, and jogging. A higher skill level is required to complete these welds. All work should be performed in the flat position if possible. For specific applications, consult an arc welding handbook.
Weld Passes
Sometimes more then one pass is necessary to fill the joint. The root pass is first, followed by filler passes and the cover pass (See Figure 10). If the pieces are thick, it may be necessary to bevel the edges that are joined at a 60º angle. Remember to remove the slag between each pass.
