DETAILS
Therefore,3 to 5 mm crater formation occurs at the tip of the electrode
Features
- Particularly in cutting and piercing applications, this crater formation enables the operation of the electrode penetrating into the melting piece without short circuit.
- Pieces up to a thickness of 10 mm can be easily cut with this electrode
- For thicker pieces (10 mm), electrode should be moved up and down in the direction of material being cut to move away the melted material.
- In piercing applications, electrode should be perpendicular to the work piece.
- It is used for beveling, weld preparation of cracks and for gouging of armour steels, air hardenable steels, stainless steels, cast irons, hard metals, work hardenable and difficult to machine materials.
- Metal removal speed depends on the electrode diameter, ampere selected and to the thickness of the piece.
- It is recommended to work with a quality power source for best results.
