AC TIG FUNCTIONS AND PARAMETER SELECTIONS

HELPFUL HINT:

AC welding is typically performed only with HF (High Frequency) starting. Lift start/arc starting in AC can contaminate the tung-

sten when welding AC. However, sometimes it may be necessary to use lift start in AC mode due to restrictions caused by the

location. Places like hospitals, computer rooms etc. are sensitive to HF and may ban or restrict the use of any HF device. If so,

then use the lift start mode. But use a scrap piece of clean copper to strike the arc on, and then transfer the arc over to the piece

being welded. This will help prevent weld contamination and prolong tungsten life.
