B-1 1 OPERA TION B-1 1 POWER-ARC 4000 Stick welding is probably the most familiar welding process known. A coated ELECTRODE, the weld rod, is clamped into an ELECTRODE HOLDER, an insulated clamping device, which in turn connects to the ELECTRODE CABLE, a heavy wire. The WORK, the metal piece to be welded, is connected to the WORK CABLE, a heavy wir[...]

B-12 OPERA TION B-12 POWER-ARC 4000 The Power-Arc 4000 has a voltage output of up to 62 volts which can shock. The electric arc is made between the work and the tip end of a small metal wire, the electrode, which is clamped in a holder that is held by the welder. A gap is made in the welding circuit (see Figure 3) by hold- ing the tip of the electr[...]

B-13 OPERA TION B-13 POWER-ARC 4000 1. The Correct Welding Position Illustrated is the correct welding position for right-handed people. (For left-handed people it is opposite.) Whenever possible, weld from left to right (if right- handed). This enables you to see clearly what you are doing. Hold the electrode at a slight angle as shown in Figure 5[...]

B-14 OPERA TION B-14 POWER-ARC 4000 PRACTICE The best way of getting practice in the four skills that enable you to maintain: 1. Correct Welding Position. 2. Correct Way to Strike An Arc. 3. Correct Arc Length. 4. Correct Welding Speed. is to spend a little more time on the following exercise. Use the following: Mild Steel Plate: 3/16 ” (4.8mm), [...]

B-15 OPERA TION B-15 POWER-ARC 4000 Now weld the two plates together. Weld from left to right (if right-handed). Point the electrode down in he gap between the two plates, keeping the electrodes slightly tilted in the direction of travel. Watch the molten metal to be sure it distributes itself evenly on both edges and in between the plates. Penetra[...]

B-16 OPERA TION B-16 POWER-ARC 4000 Vertical-Up Welding The problem, when welding vertical-up, is to put the molten metal where it is wanted and make it stay there. If too much molten metal is deposited, gravity will pull it downwards and make it “ drip ” . Therefore, a certain technique has to be followed: 1. Use 1/8 ” (3.2mm) 90-115 amps or[...]

B-17 OPERA TION B-17 POWER-ARC 4000 Overhead Welding Various techniques are used for overhead welding. However, in the interest of simplicity for the inexperi- enced welder, the following technique will probably take care of his needs for overhead welding: 1. Use 1/8 ” (3.2mm) 90-105 A or 3/32 ” (2.5mm) 70 A AWS 6011 electrode on AC. 2. Put the[...]

B-18 OPERA TION B-18 POWER-ARC 4000 4. The bead should be put on with a weaving motion, and it should be 1/2-3/4 ” (12.7-19.0mm) wide. Do not let the arc blow over the edge, as that will dull the edge. (See drawing below.) 5. Use the back-stepping method. Begin to weld 3 ” (76mm) from the heel of the share and weld to the heel. The second weld [...]

B-19 OPERA TION B-19 POWER-ARC 4000 High-Speed Group (AWS E6013) This group includes electrodes which have a moder- ately forceful arc and deposit rates between those of the out-of-position and high-deposit electrodes. They are primarily general purpose production elec- trodes especially for downhill fillets and laps or short and irregular welds th[...]
