Usage Instructions
Installation & Connection: Connect the 2-pin aviation connector to the welding machine control socket. Connect the water-cooled fitting to the water circulation system, ensuring firm connections for smooth water and gas flow.
Accessory Assembly: Select the appropriate ceramic nozzle and tungsten electrode size based on the welding task. Install the long or short cap as needed. Ensure all parts are securely tightened.
Water Cooling Check: Before welding, verify that the water cooling system is operating correctly. Check for leaks at the water-cooled fitting. Ensure adequate water flow to prevent torch overheating.
Operating Guidelines: Adjust welding parameters according to material type and thickness. Maintain the proper torch angle and travel speed for stable arc performance.
Safety Precautions:
Check the flame-retardant sleeve and inner hoses for damage before use.
Ensure the water cooling system is functioning before welding.
Wear protective gloves and a welding mask during operation.
Do not exceed the rated current of the torch.
Ensure good ventilation in the work area.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect the ceramic nozzle, tungsten electrode, and O-rings for wear. Replace consumables promptly. Check the flame-retardant sleeve for damage. Store in a dry environment.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between water-cooled and air-cooled TIG torches?
A: Water-cooled torches use circulating water to dissipate heat, supporting continuous high-current welding with a 100% duty cycle. Air-cooled torches rely on ambient air and are better suited for lower-current, intermittent welding.
Q: What accessories are included?
A: The torch comes with a complete set including WP long cap, WP short cap, ceramic nozzle, and tungsten electrode.
Q: What metals can it weld?
A: It is suitable for argon-arc welding of stainless steel, alloy steel, copper, and other metals.
Q: What is the rated current?
A: The WP18 water-cooled torch is rated at 350A with a 100% duty cycle, suitable for continuous high-current welding.
: What connectors does it use?
A: It uses a 2-pin aviation connector for the switch and a water-cooled fitting for the water circulation system.
Q: How do I maintain the torch?
A: Regularly inspect and replace consumables such as ceramic nozzles and tungsten electrodes. Check the flame-retardant sleeve and water fittings for damage or leaks. Store in a dry environment.
