Welding consumables

Q: How is welding electrode or rod calculated?

Calculating Filler Metal Consumption The number of pounds of welding electrodes or welding wire necessary to complete a given weld joint may be calculated by the formula : P = WL E Where: P = Pounds of electrode or wire required W = Weight per foot of weld metal L = Length of weld (feet) E = Deposition efficiency

Q: What are Mig welding consumables?

MIG gun consumables principally comprise of the front-end part of the gun, the nozzle, retaining head, contact tip and the liner. These components are responsible for properly feeding the welding wire and for establishing the electrical conductivity necessary to create the arc. apart from that you still need the shielding gas (carbon dioxide pr argon) and the welding rods for Mig welding

Q: What is filler material in welding?

In welding, Filler metals are alloys or unalloyed metals which, when heated, liquefy and melt to flow into the space between two close fitting parts, creating a brazed or soldered joint. A filler metal has suitable melting and flow properties to permit distribution by capillary attraction in properly prepared joints.

Tig Welding;

Epoxy Oilserv Nigeria Limited supplies range of welding consumables for all applications, we have a range of TIG welding equipment, from welding machine, TIG torch and argon gases.

TIG welders are designed for the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process (GTAW), which is commonly referred to as the Tungsten Inert Gas process (TIG welding). The TIG process derives the heat for welding from an electric arc established between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the part to be welded. Filler metal, if used, is manually fed into the weld puddle when TIG welding. tungsten electrode and is connected to the TIG welder. The TIG welding process also requires an external shielding gas, typically argon, helium, or a mixture of the two to protect the molten metal and electrode from atmospheric contamination. High-quality welds can be produced with TIG welders.

The TIG welding process also has all position welding capability and is excellent on very thin materials. Additionally, a TIG welder makes welds that have an outstanding appearance and clean-up is fast and easy since there is no slag Epoxy Oilserv carries a complete line of welders, welder accessories, and welding consumables from major manufacturers, like Lincoln Electric, Miller Electric, Whatever your welding and cutting-related needs, Epoxy Oilserv has you covered – with industry-leading stick welders, TIG welders, MIG welders, engine-driven welders, plasma cutting systems, wire feeders, welding consumables, fume extraction (environmental) systems, and welding automation (robotic) systems.

Arc Welding safety

Arc welding is a safe process when sufficient measures are taken to protect the welder from potential hazards and when proper operating practices are followed. Major hazards welders can encounter if these dangers are overlooked include fumes and gases, arc rays and sparks, and electric shock. Listed below are some informative websites and data resources.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose welding consumable?

Before making a choice on welding consumables, as a rule, when welding materials have different tensile strengths, the consumable you choose should match the material with the lower tensile strength. The preheat temperature you use should match what is required for the material with the higher tensile strength.

How is welding electrode or rod calculated?

Calculating Filler Metal Consumption The number of pounds of welding electrodes or welding wire necessary to complete a given weld joint may be calculated by the formula: P = WL E Where: P = Pounds of electrode or wire required W = Weight per foot of weld metal L = Length of weld (feet) E = Deposition efficiency

These components are responsible for properly feeding the welding wire and for establishing the electrical conductivity necessary to create the arc. apart from that you still need the shielding gas (carbon dioxide pr argon) and the welding rods for Mig welding

Which factor determine the current setting during welding?

The factors that determine the current setting during welding are Melting point, thermal conductivity, reactivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, electrical resistance and surface condition of material are factor that affect weldabiliy.
