In the UK, we use energy at 50Hz, but in fact up to 25% of that energy travels at either higher or lower frequencies called diffractions. Mathematical models show that all of these diffractions add to each other for certain frequencies (also called harmonics) and a significant amount of energy travels at these frequencies. Welding equipment without PFC technology can only draw the energy at 50Hz, which is not very efficient, whilst equipment with PFC technology is able to draw all the energy that is available from all the frequency levels. GYS is also equipping machines with Flexible Voltage (FV) technology. GYS FV machines can operate at any voltage in the range 85V-265V. Ideal for 110V applications and whenever there is a likelihood of variations in voltage, for example on site with a generator and maybe with long extension leads, With the combined technology of PFC and FV welding performance can be significantly enhanced where there is only a suboptimal power source available. For example the GYSMI 196 FV is capable of welding 3.2mm electrodes on 110V on very long extension leads. Currently these technologies are incorporated into the GYS range of inverter MMA. TIG and Plasma machines - the GYSMI195, a 230V 160Amp MMA machine, the GYSMI 196FV, a MMA machine and Master 200FV, a 200 Amp PFC and FV MMA/TIG inverter, the TIG200DC HF FV and TIG 207AC/DC HF FV TIG machines as well as the Plasma Cutter 31FV. https://www.migwelders.ie/ - Details |
| https://www.weldingsuppliesdirect.co.uk/welding-equipment/spot-welding.html Where is Spot Welding used? There are many applications of Spot Welding. It is not unique to just connecting metals, and the metals in which Spot Welding is the preferred choice is very wide depending upon the metals' available, and the application.
The SpotTrack Project looks solely at the improvements in identifying welding failure and conversely weld quality i.e "Pass Rates" in repairs to automotive applications namely Car Collision Repairs.
To understand the role of Spot Welding, it has to be seen in context within Automotive Manufacturing.
Automotive Manufacturing
Firstly we should consider the complexities in modern vehicle body design. The design objectives are varied such as:-
Torsional Strength / Marketable Looks / Weight / Serviceability / Reparability / Economy of Manufacture / Longevity / Use of Common Parts / Survivability / Crashability / Recyclability / Occupant and Pedestrian Safety / Fuel consumption / CO2 emission and cost of ownership / Acceleration / Performance / Disposal at End of Life / Embracing New and Emerging technologies in materials, forming and connecting sciences.
As you can see, this is a very complex set of situations and in some circumstances has conflicting objectives. For example, weight reduction might improve performance. However, weight reduction could mean reducing the Torsional Rigidity and Overall Strength of the Body Structure.
To achieve lightweight construction they can either use lightweight material like Plastics, Carbon fibre, Magnesium, Aluminum or high strength steel or a combination of many materials. Carbon fibre is absolutely too expensive for the cars of mass market. Aluminum is very expensive as a mass production material, but can be applied on higher priced cars. In some cases e.g. Audi TT, Aluminium is used for the whole body, supplemented by steel. In some cases the front structure of middle class cars uses Aluminium to reduce the weight in the front where we have the engine weight. In these cases to give a 50/50% weight distribution from front to rear. https://www.weldingsuppliesdirect.co.uk/welding-equipment/spot-welding.html - Details |

| Tig Welders Ireland A welder is a long term investment where many find that they get what they pay for. While it is sometimes advisable to test the waters with an used model, picking the right machine the first time around can save a lot of headaches and cash in the long term. No one wants an used welder to fail in the middle of a big job or to discover that an used welder's price can help make ends meet but the welder itself can't make two pieces of metal meet. The best welder will complete every project that comes down the pike and minimizes limitations. This means that the most expensive welder is not always the best for each situation. However, the cheapest welding machine that can't handle every job a welder hopes to accomplish fails to pay for itself in ways that make it worthwhile to review the possible options before investing in a welder. The Work Determines the Welder One of the most important questions to consider when selecting a welder isn't what projects it will be used for in the next week, month, or even year. Those interested in buying a welder need to ask if they see themselves using it more frequently in the future for many different kinds of projects.
Delivery of parts to the welding station in an organized and logical fashion is also a way to reduce welding costs. For example, one company was manufacturing concrete mixing drums. In the fabrication process, the company produced 10 parts for one section, then went on to make 10 parts of another drum section, etc. As pieces came off the line, they were put onto the floor of the shop. When it was time to weld, the operator had to hunt for the pieces needed and sort through them. When the outside welding expert pointed out the amount of time being wasted in this process, the company started to batch each one on a cart. In this way, the pieces needed to weld one drum were stored together and could easily be moved to the welding area. This type of scenario is also true for companies that may outsource parts to a vendor. Though it may cost more to have parts delivered in batches, it may save more in time than having to organize and search through parts to be able to get to the welding stage. How many times each piece is handled in the shop may be an eye-opener to reducing wasted time. To measure such an intangible as this, operators are asked to put a soapstone mark on the piece each time it is touched - some companies are surprised to find out how many times a part is picked up, transported and laid down in the manufacturing process. In the case of one company, moving the welding shop closer to the heat treatment station eliminated four extra times that the part was handled. Basically, handling a part as few times as possible and creating a more efficient production line or work cell will reduce overall costs. Looking for the best TIG Welders? We recommend Welding Supplies Direct & associated company TWS Direct Ltd is an online distributor of a wide variety of welding supplies, welding equipment and welding machine. We supply plasma cutters, MIG, TIG, ARC welding machines and support consumables to the UK, Europe and North America.
And another tip is use the old school type of collet body(not gas lens) and one size smaller cup than you would use for steel that still provides good shielding. A smaller old school (not gas lens) TIG cup confines the shielding gas envelope to the puddle so that arc energy is not wasted in the form of frosty cleaning action outside the weld. A lot of Old timers use the small cups, they just don't know why. Pay attention next time you weld aluminum and use a small cup and then turn the shielding gas flow down to around 12-15 cfh with a #6 cup and see if things don't quiet down a bit.
Several MIG welders handbook: how to become a better welder and how to pick the best welding equipment. How do I choose what size Tig Welding Rod should I use for the job? For sheet metal up to 1/8" thick, don't use a welding rod that is bigger than the thickness of metal you are welding.at least not much bigger. A good example.is using a 3/32 rod for welding .040 metal. That will just give you a fit. The amperage is low and the weld puddle needs to be small in order to prevent blowing a hole.and then when you dip the rod into the puddle, the rod is a big heat sink and sucks the heat right out of the puddle making it hard to maintain a consistent size bead. But Beginners should probably not be practicing on really thin metal. If you are a beginner you should be practicing on around 1/8 " thick metal, and the bigger the rod, the easier it is to feed. For 1/8 " metal, Use larger diameter rods (3/32" to 1/8") So here is the rule..thin metal, use a thin rod Thick metal, use a thicker rod. This might seem like a no brainer, but I have answered a lot of questions like this about the rod melting before it gets to the puddle. If torch angle and arc length are right, its usually the rod size. https://www.weldingsuppliesdirect.ie/ - Details |
