Manganese steels
The effect on manganese steel of slow cooling from 

high temperatures is enbrittlement. For this reason it 

is absolutely essential to keep manganese steel cool 

during welding by quenching after each weld or skip 

welding to distribute the heat.

Cast iron
Most types of cast iron, except white iron, are 

weldable. White iron, because of its extreme 

brittleness, generally cracks when attempts are made 

to weld it. Trouble may also be experienced when 

welding white-heart malleable, due to the porosity 

caused by gas held in this type of iron.

Copper and alloys

The most important factor is the high rate of heat 

conductivity of copper, making preheating of heavy 

sections necessary to give proper fusion of weld and 

base metal.

Types of electrodes
Arc welding electrodes are classified into a number 

of groups depending on their applications. There are 

a great number of electrodes used for specialized 

industrial purposes which are not of particular interest 

for everyday general work. These include some low 

hydrogen types for high tensile steel, cellulose types 

for welding large diameter pipes, etc. The range of 

electrodes dealt with in this publication will cover the 

vast majority of applications likely to be encountered; 

are all easy to use and all will work on even the most 

basic of welding machines.

 TIG Welding guide

Controls used 

2T/4T sets the trigger to momentary or latching for 

longer welding runs.

Voltage adjustment knob, allows the adjustment of 

the post gas flow time after welding stops.

Current adjustment knob which controls the output 

current.

Torch starting in Lift TIG mode
Ensure the gas supply is switched on. Briefly contact 

the tip of the tungsten electrode down onto the work 

piece with the torch at around 70

0

 from vertical, 

depress the torch trigger to switch on the welding 

power and the gas flow. Lift the torch up from the 

work piece to draw out an arc. To prevent melting of 

the end of the tungsten the machine will increase the 

output current when it detects the rise in arc voltage 

as the tungsten is lifted from the work piece. TO stop 

welding release the trigger
Note in 4T mode the trigger should be release during 

welding and then depressed briefly to stop the 

welding process.
