What is Mag Welding Machine? How to Use Mag Welding Machine
MAG welding machine are indispensable equipment in the fabrication and welding industry, standing out for their ability to produce high-quality and sustainable welds. Whether you are a professional welder or just starting out, in the article below, RX Tradex will provide you with comprehensive information about Mag welding machine, how to use and store them effectively.
1. What is a Mag Welding Machine?
MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding machine is a type of electronic welding machine that uses the method of metal arc welding in a protective gas environment. The main electrode is a molten welding wire, which is automatically fed into the weld, and the protective gas is usually CO2 or Helium, which is supplied through the wire feeder.
The working principle of the MAG welding machine is based on the creation of an electric arc between the welding wire and the welding object to melt the materials. This electric arc is protected by an inert gas or reducing gas, which prevents the entry of oxygen and nitrogen into the arc area. This helps prevent oxidation and nitrification.
2. Structure of Mag Welding Machine
The parts of the Mag welding machine include:
Power Supply: This is the part that supplies power to the welding machine. Usually, Mag welding machine use an electronic power source that is capable of adjusting parameters such as welding current and welding voltage,…
Welding Wire Feeder: This is the automatic part that feeds the welding wire into the machine. Including main parts: wire feed shaft, wire feed motoer, welding head,…
Gas Protection: Used to protect the welding arc. The protective gas used is usually CO2 or Helium.
3. How to use a Mag welding machine correctly
5 simple steps to use a Mag welding machine:
Step 1: Clean and test the device
Welding Material: Cleaning, removing any impurities from the welding material
Welding Equipment: Test the welding machine and related equipment to ensure they work stably
Step 2: Install the device
Place the power supply in the right place
Attach the soldering wire feeder to the soldering power supply
Install the protective gas into the soldering power supply
Step 3: Adjust the welding parameters
Adjust the welding current and welding voltage corresponding to the material and thickness of the welder
Step 4: Proceed with welding
Connect the welding wire to the welding object
Press the button to start welding
Move the surrender in a clockwise weld line
Step 5: End Welding
Press the stop button to finish welding
Unplug the welding wire from the welding object
