350GC
All elements together form an operating unit which provides a plasma arc for
welding when supplied with the appropriate operating resources. The welding
wire required for welding is fed through the cable assembly and the torch neck
all the way to the contact tip. The contact tip transmits the welding current to the
welding wire, producing an arc between the welding wire and work-piece. The
welding arc and the molten pool are protected by an inert gas (MIG) or an
active gas (MAG).
