Deciphering Welding Symbols As you may know, when welds are specified
on
engineering and fabrication drawings, a rather cryptic set of symbols is used as a sort of shorthand for describing the type of weld, its size, and other processing and finishing information. Without a basic knowledge of these symbols, their meaning can become confusing. Miller is pleased to provide this story as a resource that will introduce you to common welding symbols and their meaning. We hope that you find this Basic information helpful.

Miller Products Pay For Themselves Within Six Months by Reducing Weld Spatter
For Weir Slurry North America, the decision to purchase new
Miller
products for their pump manufacturing division has proven to be a solid
one. Weir Slurry found that not only were they able to increase their
productivity, but also that they could reduce energy costs with their
new XMT® 304 inverters. In
fact, they saved enough money within six months to cover the cost of
purchasing the inverters.
From reducing consumables costs to shortening cleanup time, learn all of the details.

Motorsports Expertise Question 1: Rookie Needs Help I just got a spool gun and tried my hand at aluminum welding, but I cannot get a decent bead. My setup is a Millermatic® 251 with the Spoolmatic® 30A spool gun. Any advice would be appreciated. I've done a lot of practicing and have buried my practice pieces 4 feet deep so they cannot be found with a metal detector. Read Andy's answer.
Question 2: TIG Basics I just bought a Syncrowave® 180 SD, but I have never used a TIG before. Some problems I have been having are: 1) I keep melting the tip of the tungsten even at low amps; 2) While welding I keep throwing sparks as though I am MIG welding. I’m never going to be welding anything thicker than 1/8-inch steel. Should I have a 1/16 or 3/32 tungsten? Read Andy's answer.
Question 3: Millermatic® 135 tripping 20A breaker? Today, for the second time, my 20A dedicated breaker tripped while I was welding. I probably ran the longest beads I've ever run today and ran consecutive ones at about 4 minutes duration for each of 16 beads. The on-board thermal protection never fired. I'm thinking that the cheapo circuit breaker is just tired, and I'm going to swap it out tomorrow, but I'd appreciate your comments. Read Andy's answer. |
