TIG WELDING REVIEW
What are some considerations when choosing a tungsten? - ✔️✔️The type of metal
being used and the polarity and amperage being welded on
Current - ✔️✔️the time rate of flow of electric charge, in the direction that a positive
moving charge would take and having magnitude equal to the quantity of charge per
unit time: measured in amperes
GTAW is a form of _____ welding? What are other examples? How is it different from
brazing? - ✔️✔️Arc
Stick and GMAW
Because it uses a electric current to heat and weld the metal instead of flame
Name The Different Types of Tungsten - ✔️✔️Thoriated, Pure, Ceriated, Lanthanated
When setting up a torch what parts diameters have to match? - ✔️✔️Collet and Collet
Body
GTAW Stands for? - ✔️✔️Cas Tungsten Arc Welding
TIG stands for? - ✔️✔️Tungsten Inert Gas
Amperage - ✔️✔️the strength of an electric current in amperes
DCEN - ✔️✔️Direct Current Electrode Negative; a direct current of negative electrons
DCEP - ✔️✔️Direct Current Electrode Positive; a direct current of positive electtons
Describe tig machine setup - ✔️✔️You turn on the machine and the gas, pick the
highest amperage you would want to weld at, set up your torch
AC - ✔️✔️Alternating Current; when the current jumps from positive to negative current
What are the 6 main parts of a tig torch - ✔️✔️Collet, Collet body, cup, cap,
tungsten,torch body
What are each of the consumables made from? - ✔️✔️Cup - ceramic
Cap - plastic
