Instructions for gouging
Gounging is a similar process to arc welding (MMA). Place the
electrode in the torch so that it protrudes for about 15cm (Picture
3). Turn the switch to full power and open the air valve of the
torch. The contact of the electrode on the metal part will create
a short-circuit that will immediately produce a welding pool. The
air in the torch will remove the metal from the welding pool. The
process is carried out by `pushing’ moving the electrode in the
opposite method than for MMA. This results in the removal of
material in a U shape (Picture 4).
WARNING ! Spatters due to the operation can be
extremly dangerous. It is mandatory to use protective
equipment as well as clear the working area to ensure the
safety of others.
Informations :
The MAGYS 450 WS can perform this operation with
electrodes with a maximum diameter of 8 mm.
