1 Introduction
Gas Metal Arc Welding (G.M.A.W.) is an arc
welding process where a consumable wire is
fed by motor driven feed rolls to a welding
gun, and where welding current is supplied
from the welding power source. The welding
arc is struck between the work piece and
the end of the wire, which melts into the
weld pool. The arc and the weld pool are
both shielded by gas flow from the gun, or
in the case of “self shielded” wires, by gases
generated by the wire core.
The process is very versatile in that by
selection of the correct wire composition,
diameter and shielding gas, it can be used
for applications ranging from sheet-metal to
heavy plate, and metals ranging from carbon
steel to aluminium alloys.
The Weldmatic Fabricator has been designed
to be used with consumable wires in the
range from 0.6mm to 1.2mm diameter. The
smaller wire sizes are used when welding
at lower currents, such as sheet-metal
applications. Increasing the wire diameter
permits higher welding currents to be
selected.
A common application of G.M.A.W. is for
welding Mild Steel. In this application, a
Mild Steel solid consumable wire such as
AUSTMIG ES6 is used with a shielding gas
of Carbon Dioxide, or Argon mixed with
Carbon Dioxide. Alternatively, Flux-cored
consumable wires are available in both gas
shielded, and ‘gasless’ self shielding types.
Stainless steel and Aluminium can be welded
with G.M.A.W. using the correct consumable
wire and shielding gas.
