11.0 Troubleshooting and Fault Finding

11.1 TIG/MMA functions

Excessive electrode consumption

Cause

Solution

Inadequate gas flow

Increase gas flow

Inadequate post gas flow

Increase post flow time to 1 sec per 10 amps

Improper size electrode for current required

Use larger electrode

Operating of reverse polarity

User larger electrode or change polarity

Electrode contamination

Remove contaminated portion, then prepare again

Excessive heating inside torch

Replace collet. Try wedge collet or reverse collet

Electrode oxidising during cooling

Increase post flow time before turning off valve

Shield gas incorrect

Change to proper gas (no oxygen or CO

)

Erratic Arc

Cause

Solution

Incorrect voltage (arc too long)

Maintain short arc length

Current too low for electrode size

Use smaller electrode or increase current

Electrode contaminated

Remove contaminated portion, then prepare again

Joint too narrow

Open joint groove

Contaminated shield gas. Dark stains on the electrode or

weld bead indicate contamination

The most common cause is moisture or aspirated air in gas stream. Use welding grade gas only.

Find the source of the contamination and eliminate it promptly

Base metal is oxidised, dirty or oily

Use appropriate chemical cleaners, wire brush, or abrasives prior to welding

Inclusion of tungsten or oxides in weld

Cause

Solution

Improper lift arc starting technique

Follow directions as set out on page 43

Poor scratch starting technique

Many codes do not allow scratch starts. Use copper strike plate. Use high frequency arc starter.

Excessive current for tungsten size used

Reduce the current or use larger electrode

Accidental contact of electrode with puddle

Maintain proper arc length

Accidental contact of electrode to filler rod

Maintain a distance between electrode and filler metal

Using excessive electrode extension

Reduce the electrode extension to recommended limits

Inadequate shielding or excessive drafts

Increase gas flow, shield arc from wind, or use gas lens

Wrong gas

Do not use ArO

or ArCO

GMAW (MIG) gases for TIG welding

Heavy surface oxides not being removed

Wire brush and clean the weld joint prior to welding

Porosity in Weld Deposit

Cause

Solution

Entrapped impurities, hydrogen, air, nitrogen, water

vapour

Do not weld on wet material. Remove condensation from line with adequate gas pre-flow time

Defective gas hose or loose connection

Check hoses and connections for leaks

Filler material is damp (particularly aluminium)

Dry filler metal in oven prior to welding

Filler material is oily or dusty

Replace filler metal

Alloy impurities in the base metal such as sulphur,

phosphorous, lead and zinc

Change to a different alloy composition which is weldable. These impurities can cause a

tendency to crack when hot

Excessive travel speed with rapid freezing of weld trapping

gases before they escape

Lower the travel speed

Contaminated shield gas

Replace the shielding gas
