All welcome. We continue to discuss the necessary and useful stories and tips for welding. Today's article will be useful at all for beginners who are just getting started with welding. The theme we have about how to keep in hand welding derzhak to make it the most convenient cooking. The most important thing in welding - is to learn to control the weld puddle and then sutures will be beautiful and strong. This control we carry out manipulation of grip and the electrode during welding. So keep derzhak without tension in your hand, otherwise if strongly compress, quickly tired hand and starts shaking that badly affect the quality of welding. It is best to keep the holder for placing both hands, especially in the beginning when the electrode is long, so much easier to control the weld pool. One hand can be cooked when the electrode will be less than half.
The next board will thus, insert the electrode into the holder for placing under 45 degrees. In such a situation the most relaxed brush electrode during welding, it is not necessary to curve to give the desired angle of the electrode, it is already at the desired angle. When I started, long cooked by inserting the electrode into the holder for placing at 90 degrees, while an experienced welded advised not to try to change it to 45 degrees. Since that day, I cook only with the position of the electrode. Another feature which is, welding cable has a rather big weight and manipulation of grip it has an effect, creating additional discomfort. I advise you to make one turn of the cable on hand to it you are no longer worried, personally I always cook and for a long time - much more convenient than when the wire just hanging. On welding forums certainly argue about it, some say harmful, such as the electromagnetic field on hand to act. Others respond that if we follow this logic, then derzhak also hold in your hand is harmful - a field not going anywhere. once again, so much more convenient.
Another piece of advice. When light a new electrode, the electrode itself can be relied on the brush or the fingers of the second hand te second hand will as a guide. Of course not very close to the arc, so as not to burn gloves, when the electrode is reduced second hand clean on derzhak. Such a method helps when varish vertical seam. It seems like in billiards cue opirajut on the second hand!
The habit - second nature, so it is better to work out for themselves the right habits in working with derzhak and then you will be much simpler and easier to cook and develop.
