2.4 Iron powder feed

2.4.1 Iron powder fed in front of welding electrode (Forward feed)

S Iron powder is supplied thr ough a downpipe and partially fills the joint.

S The flux is added and covers the joint.

S The welding electrode passes through the powder bed and if the current and

voltage are correctly set the arc melts the iron powder and gives the required

degree of fusion in the sidewalls and root.

2.4.2 Iron powder fed d irectly onto electrode (Direct feed), Accessorie

S The flux is added first in the usual way.

S Iron powder is fed directly onto the free electrode. It is held there by magnetic

attraction and follows the electrode through the flux bed. Electrode stickout must

be increased to around 40--60 mm.

S Behind the electrode extra flux is added to fill the trough left in the flux by the

electrode and the attached iron powder. This prevents the weld pool bubbling up

behind the electrode.

4 OPERATION

4.1 General

General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on

page 54. Read through before you start using the equipment!

4.2 Welding parameters

4.2.1 Current setting

When welding with 4 mm wire and DC (electrode positive) set the current in the

range 600 -- 900 A. This will give a wire deposition rate of 7 -- 11 kg/ arc hour.

When welding with 2 x 4 mm wire (tandem arc welding) and DC/AC set the current to

600 -- 700 A for the first wire, and 700 -- 900 A for the second. Th is will give a wire

deposition rate of 15 -- 19 kg/arc hour.

4.2.2 Arc voltag e

The arc voltage should be between 28 -- 38 volt, depending on the current and

position in the joint. This is about 2 volts higher than would be necessary without iron

powder.

4.2.3 Travel speed

The travel speed should be higher than it is for welding without iron powder. It should

be around 60 -- 70 cm/min, or with twin wires (tandem welding) up to 100 cm/min.

NOTE! If the travel speed is too low it will result in incomplete fusion of the iron

powder.

4.3 Joint

4.3.1 General

Melting iron powder uses arc energy and reduces fusion in the base plate. For a

given welding current penetration in the base plate is therefore reduced. This must

be taken into account when selecting the joint preparation and welding parameters.

This is particularly impor tant for the root bead, although less critical for filler beads.

4.3.2 Joint type

For single--sided welding a 50_ V preparation is recommended. A manual root bead

using a suitable electrode or wire and backing strip is also recommended. Sub-

merged arc welding can also be used directly onto a suitable backing strip. This is

only recommended when a jig can be used to control edge alignment and root gap

accurately. Otherwise it will result in irregular penetration.

For double--sided welding a 50_ V joint, with the rear welded without iron powder, or

a50_ double V is recommended. In both cases a root face (land) of up to 6 mm can

be used. In this case the root bead should be welded with a reduced amount of iron

powder. Where there are strict requirements regarding impact toughness of the root

it may be necessary to back gouge, or use a manual root bead with feather edge

preparation.

fga2o1ea

4.4 Welding with iron powder

S Fill the powder hopper with iron powder (1).

S Position the welding head at the start of the weld.

S Adjust the iron powder feed using the potentiometer (7) on the control unit.

Welding results depend on the correct addition of iron powder and the flow rate must

be adapted to the current and wire feed speed.

The following figures can be used as a guide:

Single wire 4 mm: 600 A -- approx. 120 g/min

700 A -- approx. 140 g/min

800 A -- approx. 160 g/min

900 A -- approx. 180 g/min

This gives almost the same volume of weld metal from iron powder as from the wire.

Total 14 -- 20 kg/arc hour.

Twin wire 2 x 4 mm: 610 + 800 A -- approx. 180 g/min

700 + 900 A -- approx. 200 g/min

This gives 30--40% yield from iron powder and 60--70% from the wires.

Total 24 -- 30 kg/arc hour.

To ensure adequate penetration in deep joints it may be necessary to run the first

bead with less iron powder or none at all.

To obtain a flat r einforcement on the final pass it may also be necessary to reduce

the amount of iron powder or use none at all.

Iron powder can be affected by magnetic lines of force, just as the arc can. This is

particularly noticeable near the end of a plate. If porosity appears in the weld it may

be necessary to experiment with the position of the return cable connection.

S Add iron powder by pressing the start switch (8) and fill up the beginning of the

joint with the powder.

S Add the flux and cover the joint in the usual way.

S Start the welding machine

-- 6 3 --

fga2o1ea

The iron powder feed unit can be converted to allow a dual supply of iron powder to

a direct feed accessory. The wedge (1) is removed by undoing the screw (2). The

wedge is designed to cover one of the outlets when feeding through a single outlet.

To permit adjustment of the flow of powder through each outlet a partition (3) is in-

stalled and adjusted to the desired position using nuts. Check the adjustment once

installation is complete.

The powder feed unit is also equipped with a spring (4) that can be fitted in a match-

ing groove. This need only be used when using nickel or chrome based iron powder

which tends to clog the grooves in the feed roller. The spring generates small shocks

as it passes over the bolt heads on the rotating roller.

NOTE!

The direction of rotation of the roller must not be reversed when the spring is fitted.

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 General

Note:

All warranty undertakings given by the supplier cease to apply if the customer

attempts to rectify any faults on the machine during the warranty period.

Note! Store iron powder in a dry place. If you try to dry iron powder by heating it may

oxidise and form lumps. Wet iron powder will cause weld defects.

5.2 Daily

S Clean any powder and dust from the moving parts of the iron powder equipment.

S Check all electrical cables and connections.

S Check the powder tube for wear at the point where it touches the rotating feed

roller.

S If necessary, adjustments can be carried out after removing the perspex cover

from the front of the feed unit.

5.3 Regularly

S Check and adjust the powder feed mechanism by measuring the amount of iron

powder fed out in one minute.

S If motor operation is irregular it must be replaced. If the motor is in good
