Portable Grinder
An angle grinder, also known as a side grinder or disc grinder, is a handheld
power tool used for grinding (abrasive cutting) and polishing.
WELDING MACHINE
Welding Machine
a device used to join materials together. Welding machines produce heat
that melts metal parts so that these parts can be joined. Thus, when it cools, it becomes
a fixed and resistant joint.
Essentials to obtain quality weld
B. Current requirement
The heat liberated at the arc is directly proportional to the arc
voltage and the intensity of the current. Since the arc voltage under
ordinary condition depends on the arc length, which ideally should be
held constant, the current or amperage used is therefore the main
factor in determining the heat input, which in turn effects the
condition of the weldment.
At high current values the hotter arc will cause a larger area and
deeper portion of the work piece to be melted and the electrode to melt
faster, giving a deeper penetration and faster welding speed.
However, too high current will cause harmful overheating of the base
metal with undercutting or possibility of burn-through for thin work
pieces.
The amperage to be used depends on:
1. Kind of Electrode
2. Size of Electrode
3. Thickness of plates
4. Welding Position
5. Arc length
6. Travel speed
7. Work Angle
