1.2.1 Principle of the TIG inert gas welding process
In TIG welding the arc burns freely between a tungsten electrode and the
workpiece. The inert gas is a noble gas such as argon, helium or a mixture of
these.
One pole of the power source is connected to the tungsten electrode, the other to
the workpiece. The electrode is the current conductor and arc carrier (continuous
electrode). The filler material is introduced in the form of a rod or wire by hand or
a separate cold wire feed unit. The tungsten electrode, the weld pool and the
molten end of the filler material are protected against the ingress of atmospheric
oxygen by inert shielding gas that escapes from the protective gas nozzle
arranged concentrically around the electrode.
1.2.2 Scope of application of TIG welding equipment
TIGER DC welding machines are DC sources. They are suitable for welding all
carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels and non-ferrous metals.
TIGER AC / DC welding machines are AC and DC sources. They can be used
for processing all carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals,
aluminium and aluminium alloys.
1.2.3 Intended use
TIGER welding machines may be used only for TIG or electrode welding as
intended.
REHM welding devices are designed for welding various different metallic
materials such as unalloyed and alloyed steels, stainless steels, copper, titanium
and aluminium. Also observe the special rules that apply to your applications.
REHM welding machines are designed for use in hand-held and machine-guided
operation.
REHM welding machines are, except when this is expressly stated in writing by
REHM, only for sale to commercial / industrial users and are only intended to be
used by these. The machines may only be operated by persons who trained in
the use and maintenance of welding equipment.
Welding power sources may not be installed in areas with increased electrical
risk.
This manual contains rules and guidelines for the intended use of your system.
Only compliance with these guidelines shall be considered as proper use. Risks
and damages incurred due to any other use is the responsibility of the operator.
Use under special requirements may necessitate the observance of particular
regulations.
If in doubt, ask your competent safety officer or contact the REHM customer
service department.
The special instructions listed in the supplier documentation for intended use
must be observed.
National regulations also apply without restriction to the operation of the system.
