Shielding gas selection is a critical part of cost-effective welding


You can maximise your productivity and improve efficiencies by The typical cost drivers for Gas Metal Arc welding are:

tools for the serious welder and are designed to provide you with
quality welding performance and improved cost-effectiveness. How? If you were to invest in the right BOC welding gas for your specific

Working Safely with


Gas Equipment
The supply of safe equipment and the safe use of that equipment is of
utmost importance to BOC. Our products conform to relevant national
standards in Australia and New Zealand.
All products supplied to our customers should be maintained in
accordance to AS4839 to ensure the safe and effective use of those
products.
Always leak test equipment before use. Visually inspect the condition
of all equipment before each use and check for any loose fittings at the
same time.
According to AS 4839 (The safe use of portable and mobile oxy-fuel
gas systems for welding, cutting, heating and allied processes):
• Flashback arrestors should be inspected weekly, tested every year,
and replaced every five years.
• Regulators should be inspected weekly, tested every six months,
and replaced every five years whether or not they have been in
regular use.
• Blow pipes, mixers and attachments should be inspected and leak
tested weekly.
• Flexible hoses should be inspected weekly and leak tested and
replaced immediately if damaged.

Thermic Lancing

Some records show thermic lances was designed back as early as


1905, since then, technology and safety practices has brought the
thermic lance as a very effective and efficient tool for the 21st century.
The thermic lance is a steel pipe packed with mixed metal wires.
It carries oxygen through the centre of the pipe via a safety thermic
lance handle, and ignites once the tip of the lance has reached
ignition temperature via a heating source. The thermic lance combusts
at the very tip, into a large sparkler reaction, that reaches an
approximate temperature of between 4,000–5,000°C.
Due to such a high cutting temperature, there is nothing known to
man, that can withstand the temperature of a packed thermic lance.
Re-entry for the space shuttle is only 1,650°C.
Also, due to being fed with oxygen, the lance stays alight under
water, therefore removal of underwater structures, rails or vessels
for demolition makes the thermic lance an extremely versatile
cutting tool.

Ideal Industries:
• Scrap Metal
• Demolition
• Earthmoving Maintenance
• Foundries/Smelters
• Commercial Divers
• Emergency Services

Ideal Applications:
• Cutting down large metal objects for scrap purposes
• For removal of large metal beams/structures in demolition
• Removal of stubborn plugs and pins out of heavy earth moving
equipment
• Cutting of large metal castings or frozen masses of metal (spills)
• De-slagging of furnace outlets and maintenance
• Gouging hard facing welding to replace new parts
• Cutting bridge pylons underwater to any depth

Safety
A thermic lance splatters more than other forms of welding or cutting,
due to the more rapid release of heat and the high temperature.
White hot slag is thrown a distance of 4-6m. This means that top
quality protective clothing must be worn by the operator and assistant
at all times.

Pulsing & AC Pulsing AC special


• With “TIG pulsing”, switching occurs back and forth • The “AC special” operating mode is a TIG pulse
between two different welding current levels, the variant in which switching occurs between
pulse current and the pause current. The times, and alternating current in the pulse phase and direct
therefore the frequency, can be adjusted individually current in the fundamental current phase. The

alternating current (AC) welding. • Highly suitable for welding in the vertical-up
• Difficult welding applications can be implemented position, even without weaving
easily • Controlled root formation when welding thin metal
• Improved molten pool control in positional welding, sheets in the butt joint
especially in the vertical-up position • Faster welding speed with fully mechanised and
• Easy bridging of larger gaps and gaps of differing automated applications with and without welding
sizes consumables
• Excellent weld seam quality • Excellent seam appearance, deep penetration
• Lower heat input thanks to the higher current carrying capacity of the
• Targeted control of the heat input tungsten electrode
• Minimised material distortion
• Reduction of the energy per unit length, optimum for
stainless steel welding and heat sensitive materials

AC waveforms
• Weld seam appearance with extraordinarily even
bead ripples – optimal for visible welds

• Sinusoidal – quiet arc noise, low-vibration molten


pool, ideal for welding with welding filler metal,
low electrode load

kHz pulsing
• Trapezoidal – the all-rounder
• Rectangular – good cleaning effect, high electrode
load, safe zero crossing
From 0.05 to 15 KHz
• Constriction of the arc with increasing frequency
• Concentration of the arc energy to a smaller surface
• Arc stability, even at very high welding speeds AC frequency
• Smaller heat-affected zone • 50-200 Hz
• Improved seam surface • High frequency – narrow, constricted arc with deeper
penetration
• Low frequency – wide arc

Automated pulsing
AC balance
• To increase the arc stability and the penetration
properties, especially with low currents, the current
is pulsed automatically. The ideal area of use is the
tacking and spot welding of work pieces. • 30% to +30%
• Pulse frequency depends on welding current • Positive current proportion, good cleaning, high
• Ideal for tacking due to the vibrations in the weld pool electrode load
• Negative current proportion – deep penetration, low
electrode load

and areas of application.
To strike the arc, the electrode should be gently scraped on the work
until the arc is established. There is a simple rule for the proper arc
length; it should be the shortest arc that gives a good surface to the
weld. An arc too long reduces penetration, produces spatter and gives
a rough surface finish to the weld. An excessively short arc will cause
sticking of the electrode and rough deposits that are associated with
slag inclusions.

Gouging

The arc air gouging process uses the heat generated by an arc struck
between the electrode and the workpiece to melt metal, plus a
high velocity jet of air to force the melted metal away. Conventional
welding power sources are suitable for the process. Electrode holders
are designed to provide both the current and the air jet.
The electrodes used are made of carbon covered by a layer of copper.
The supply of air is generally provided from a shop compressor.
The main feature of the process is a forceful, piercing arc capable of
making deep grooves and cuts.
The process may be used for cutting and removing weld metal in a
wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, although its main use is
for cutting carbon and alloy steels.
The main safety issues with the process are electrical concerns, high
levels of noise, the ejection of hot metal, and fume generation.

Joint Design Typical Design


The best brazed joints are those which have a capillary joint gap into
which the molten filler metal can flow. A comparison of the different For Welding For Brazing
joint designs used in welding and brazing is shown here.
The most common type of joint used for brazing is the lap joint, or the
sleeve joint in the case of tubular components. To design a good lap
joint, two criteria should be considered:
1 The joint gap
2 The degree of overlap
It is these two parameters that determine the ultimate joint strength,
rather than the properties of the filler metal.
A correctly designed brazed joint will often be stronger than the
parent materials from which it is constructed.
The best degree of overlap for a brazed joint is 3–4 t where t is the
thickness of the thinnest parent metal part that makes up the joint.
The general rule for tubular parts is that the overlap should be one
pipe diameter for sizes up to 25 mm diameter tube.
The most suitable joint gap depends mainly on the flow characteristics
of the filler metal. The joint gaps for the various alloys listed in the
following section have been indicated. The gaps quoted are those
that should be present at the brazing temperature, the cold clearances
being adjusted as necessary to account for any difference in the
expansion properties of the parent materials.
