ConsumablesOn the following pages you will find a summary of the available stick

electrodes. This summary is just a small selection from a wide range

produced to support any application. For every electrode mentioned in

the summary, application remarks have been given to ease the selec-

tion process.

LINC 405-S(A) / LINC 635-S(A) Idealarc® R3R600-I

MMA (Manual Metal Arc Welding) is one of several fusion

processes for joining metals. By applying intense heat, metal

at the joint between two parts is melted and caused to

intermix with an intermediate molten filler metal, in this case

provided by a Stick electrode. Upon solidification and cooling,

a strong metallurgical bond is created. The intense heat

needed to melt the metals is produced by an electric arc.

An arc is formed between the work and a stick electrode as

a current is conducted through them.

Metals at high temperatures tend to adversely react with

elements in the air - oxygen and nitrogen. Therefore, as well

as a filler metal, a stick electrode also produces a covering for

the arc and the molten pool with a protective shield of gas,

vapor, and slag. This is called arc shielding. This shielding

prevents or minimizes contact of the molten metal with air.

Lincoln machines have been developed with special features

to aid the welder in producing superior welds, time after

time.

FEATURES

Arc Force

This prevents the electrode from sticking during welding. Arc

force is a temporary increase of the output current during

welding when the arc is too short. This feature supports

production with consistently excellent arc performance. It also enhances

simple position welding making the job easier. In order to produce an

outstanding weld performance on a variety of electrodes (Rutile, Basic

or Cellulose) the Arc Force can be finely adjusted with a simple knob. To

have a smooth arc with less spatter, set the knob to minimum (Rutile,

Basic). For a more crisp arc, with more penetration, set it to maximum.

Hot StartThis is the temporary increase of the output current (0,5s)

during the start of a weld, this helps ignite the arc quickly and

reliably. Hot Start provides excellent arc ignition without the

electrode sticking and avoiding any metallurgical default in the

weld.

Anti-stickingThis electronic device minimizes the short circuit current in the event of

the electrode sticking to the work piece for a prolonged period. If a short

circuit does occur, it will be easy to remove the electrode from the work

piece and the electrode gun and cable will remain undamaged. It also

serves as a safety device in protecting the operator.

AIR ARC GOUGING

An industrial stick welder with adequate power and voltage load can be

used to cut and perform surface removal. This includes cutting grooves

and removing cracks on steel, cast iron and copper alloys. This process

is known as Air Carbon Arc Cutting or ARC AIR gouging. It makes use of

a special electrode gun which directs a violent jet of compressed air on

the electric arc area removing the molten material. The electrode

consists of compressed graphite and alloys with a copper coating.
