  Katherine RomeroAug 14, 2025
  If your ESAB Welding Accessories torch is getting too hot, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the contact tip and tip holder are sufficiently tight. Hand-tighten them if necessary. A malfunctioning cooling system could also be the culprit; verify water flow, filling level, and cleanliness. The torch might be overstrained, so check the technical data and consider using a different type if needed. Lastly, inspect the cable assembly for any defects in the cables, tubes, and connections.

  Wire feeding problems with your ESAB Welding Accessories can stem from several causes. Start by checking the contact tip for wear and replace it if necessary. Inspect the liner for dirt or wear; blow it through in both directions and replace it if needed. Ensure the consumables you're using are suitable for the wire diameter and material by consulting the spare part list. Verify that the wire feeder is set up correctly by checking the wire feeding rolls, contact pressure, and spool brake. Also, make sure the cable assembly is laid out straight and is not bent. Finally, if the wire is contaminated, use a cleaning felt.

What to do if I have porous welds with ESAB PSF 415 Welding Accessories?

  David EllisAug 21, 2025
  Porous welds when using ESAB Welding Accessories can be attributed to several factors. Spatter adherence causing gas swirl is one potential cause, so clean the torch head and use a gas diffuser or spatter protection. Ensure the gas flow in the torch isn't too small or extremely high by checking the flow rate with a measurement tool. A defective gas supply could also be the issue, so check the flow rate and look for any leakage. Air drafts at the workplace can also cause porous welds, so install shielding. Finally, check for moisture or contamination on the wire or workpiece, and consider using less or a different anti-spatter liquid.

  If your ESAB Welding Accessories torch is getting too hot, several factors could be the cause. First, check if the contact tip or tip holder is not tight enough and tighten it by hand. A malfunctioning cooling system could also be the culprit; inspect the water flow, filling level, and cleanliness. The torch might be overstrained, so check the technical data and consider using a different type if needed. Lastly, a defective cable assembly can cause overheating, so inspect the cables, tubes, and connections.
