MAW PLASMA ARC WELDER

Plasma Arc technology is a method by which similar and dissimilar materials are easily and consistently joined. A high density plasma arc enables the MAW welder to weld materials in 0.1 millisecond, minimizing the heat affect zone and producing stronger, more ductile weld joints with little discoloration or deformation.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Elimination of solder or flux results in clean surface
  • Short weld period limits heat stress, minimizes heat affected zone and oxidation
  • Joining of similar, dissimilar and difficult to weld metals
  • Operator control of plasma arc rise time, weld time and downslope
  • Operator control of flow of shielding gas during pre and post weld time
  • Current monitor displays status of torch firing and finished weld current
  • Two channel module built into the MAW-30 facilitates multiple applications
  • Dual flow meter built into the MAW-30 for control of shield gas mixture
  • Weld counter built into the MAW-30

The Process

Plasma Arc Welding uses a simplified and controlled process so operators can achieve high integrity welds with minimal training.

1. The two materials to be welded are positioned.

2. The operator sets the welding conditions:
Amount of current - Upslope time - Weld time
Downslope time - Flow rate of gas - Flow time of gas

3. Capacitor banks discharge, igniting the torch and creating an arc between the electrode and workpiece

4. The materials reach the proper welding state causing the molten masses to combine and form a complete alloy bond.
