The Hot Wire Amp Range is from 60 to 100.

Recommended Setting is 80 Amps for All Alloys and Steels

SECTION III-III

Getting Started

What is the TIP TIG process?

The TIP TIG process is a dynamic GTAW process that combines our patented vibratory effect of the wire in part with a hotwire current applied to the wire prior to entering the weld puddle.

• The vibratory effect is created by a linear forward/backward mechanical motion created by the custom wire feeder system

• The Hotwire current is created by a secondary power source within the Tip Tig unit.

How is the TIP TIG Process Operated?

• The TIP TIG process is operated by using a standard solid core MIG spool, a conventional TIG power supply with a minimum of 350 amps with HF start

and trigger hold function because the TIP TIG process doesn’t use a foot

petal.

• The TIP TIG process can be operated in all welding positions both manually or combined with our automated equipment such as the TIP TIG Tractor, TIP TIG Orbital and TIP TIG Oscillator.

Weld Process Benefits from TIP TIG?

The wire entering the weld pool is mechanically and electrically superimposed

from the TIP TIG process which creates a high speed vibration and preheating of

the weld wire while entering the weld puddle.

The vibratory effect and the preheating of the wire create a more fluid weld

puddle allowing for improved sidewall wetting and significant deposition rate

increases as well as porosity off gassing.

SECTION III-IV

Wire Selection for TIP TIG

• Always Use a Good Quality Weld Wire.

• The preferred wire diameter is .035 a secondary choice will

be .045 based on wire type and availability.

• Plastic Reels are preferred over the Wire Steel Reels.

• Wire Steel Reels may Bend or Break Causing Wire Feed

Problems.

• With TIP TIG the Wire Cast and Helix are Important for good Feedability.

• Use standard 30LB to 40LB Wire Spools.

Please visit Oxford Alloys at www.oxfordalloys.com for your wire selections.

Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex, Super Duplex, Nickel Alloy

Titanium, Bronze & Copper Wire

SECTION III-V

1.5% Lanthanated “Gold” Recommended

Most commonly is used non-radioactive tungsten. Offers long electrode life under heavy or pulsing amperage loads. It has the ability to resist thermal shock which provides the user with excellent ignition with a lower burn off

rate.

Tungsten Electrodes Sizes to Amperage Ranges

3/32” (.093”) 2.4 mm = 60 - 250 1/8” (.125”) 3.2 mm = 100 - 400 5/32” (.156”) 4.0 mm = 160 - 500

SECTION III-VI

Selecting Tungsten for the TIP TIG Process

With the TIP TIG Process, you will be welding with more wire so your weld current will be higher than normal. 150 – 350 amps is typical. You will have much longer arc on times. How the tungsten is sharpened will have dramatic effect on the weld duty cycle attained.

For manual TIP TIG welds you want an included

angle of “25 degree” with a flat on the tungsten tip. This provides a wider arc plasma suited for most TIG welds.

For better penetration at high travel rates, you will need a included angle of “35 degree”. This angle provides a narrow, more concentrated arc

plasma better suited for automation.

25 DEG 35 DEG

SECTION III-VI

Tungsten Included Angles and their Benefits

When removing or installing the torch,

make sure the Teflon Inlet Guide is installed

inside the main connection terminal as shown below.

Teflon Inlet Guide Tube is 4” Long.

The purpose of the Teflon Inlet Guide Tube is to keep the wire

centered from the action of the wire feeder's

forward and backwards motion and

acts as the outlet guide for the wire.
