Страница: 14 / 24

NO. Trouble Possible Reason Suggested Remedy
1 No arc
Incomplete welding circuit
Check earth lead is connected.
Check all cable connections.
No power supply
Check that the machine is switched
on and has a power supply
Wrong mode selected
Check the MMA selector switch is
selected
2
Porosity − small
cavities or holes
resulting from gas
pockets in weld
metal
Arc length too long Shorten the arc length
Work piece dirty,
contaminated or moisture
Remove moisture and materials
like paint, grease, oil, and dirt,
including mill scale from base
metal
Damp electrodes Use only dry electrodes
3 Excessive Spatter
Amperage too high
Decrease the amperage or choose a
larger electrode
Arc length too long Shorten the arc length
4 Weld sits on top,
lack of fusion
Insufficient heat input
Increase the amperage or choose a
larger electrode
Work piece dirty,
contaminated or moisture
Remove moisture and materials
like paint, grease, oil, and dirt,
including mill scale from base
metal
Poor welding technique
Use the correct welding technique
or seek assistance for the correct
technique
5
Lack of
penetration
Insufficient heat input
Increase the amperage or choose a
larger electrode
Poor welding technique
Use the correct welding technique
or seek assistance for the correct
technique
Poor joint preparation
Check the joint design and fit up,
make sure the material is not too
thick. Seek assistance for the
correct joint design and fit up
6
Excessive
penetration - burn
through
Excessive heat input
Reduce the amperage or use a
smaller electrode
Incorrect travel speed
Try increasing the weld travel
speed
7
Uneven weld
appearance
Unsteady hand, wavering
hand
Use two hands where possible to
steady up, practise your technique
8
Distortion −
movement of base
metal during
welding
Excessive heat input
Reduce the amperage or use a
smaller electrode
Poor welding technique
Use the correct welding technique
or seek assistance for the correct
technique
Poor joint preparation and or
joint design
Check the joint design and fit up,
make sure the material is not too
thick. Seek assistance for the
9
Electrode welds
with different or
unusual arc
characteristic
Incorrect polarity
Change the polarity, check the
electrode manufacturer for correct
polarity
