Welding is often accompanied by dangers such as high temperature, flashes, splashes, etc. How can a human body be able to withstand it? Hence the birth of auxiliary tools.
What kinds of auxiliary tools are commonly used by welders? Do you all know?
1. Electric welding pliers
Welding tongs are the main tools for holding electrodes and conducting current during manual welding. Because it is directly related to the safety of the welder, the insulation and heat insulation of the handle must be good, and any damage should be repaired immediately.
2. Slag hammer
Slag knocking hammer, also known as welder's hammer and spring hammer, is an indispensable auxiliary tool in the welding process.
The welding rod is composed of two parts: a steel core and a coating. The steel core and the workpiece are melted to form the weld metal. After the coating is melted, a slag core is formed to cover the surface of the weld metal. It is essential to remove the slag core on the surface of the weld with a seam knocking hammer.
3. Angle grinder
The angle grinder is mainly used for grinding oxides on the workpiece, repairing cracks and defects at weld joints, and is also one of the auxiliary tools commonly used by welders.
The rotation speed of the angle grinder is very high. Protective gloves and goggles must be worn during operation. When grinding, attention should be paid to the direction of the sparks. It is strictly forbidden to stand at the place where the sparks fly.
4. Welding rod insulation cylinder
The electrode insulation cylinder refers to the tool that the welder uses to preserve and heat the electrode during the welding process.
The electrode insulation cylinder can keep the electrode warm after it is taken out of the oven, so as to maintain the dryness of the electrode coating. Welders are afraid that the welding rod will be affected by moisture and affect the welding quality.
5. Wire brush
A wire brush is a polishing tool that consists of a series of stainless steel wire brush rollers mounted on a fully automatic high-speed brush. Welders often use it to remove dirt on the surface of the workpiece.
The quality of the welding workpiece is closely related to the cleaning of the workpiece in the early stage. If the cleaning is done in the early stage, the weldment should not have welding defects; crack.
Therefore, regardless of the inconspicuousness of the wire brush, it can remove the dirt on the surface of the workpiece, which is necessary for the welder.
