    Why does TEC.LA Ergus WIG 160 DCi have air bubbles in the bead?
    • G
      Gary LopezAug 3, 2025
      Air bubbles (porosity) in the weld bead of your TEC.LA Welding System can occur due to several reasons: * Wet electrodes: Ensure electrodes are dry before use. * Welding current too high: Reduce the welding current. * Greasy or painted surfaces: Thoroughly clean joints before welding.

    What to do if TEC.LA Ergus WIG 160 DCi has portions of the welded piece not melted?

      If portions of the welded piece are not melting with the sheet metal or joint when using your TEC.LA Welding System, consider the following: * Use electrodes with a larger diameter and pre-heat the piece if the current electrodes are too thin. * Increase the welding current if it is too low. * Correct the welding angle towards the base plate if the electrode is used with an incorrect slope. * Reduce the welding speed if it is too fast. * Clean the surface before welding to remove any slag or dirt.

    Why does TEC.LA Ergus WIG 160 DCi have visible cracks in the bead?
    • M
      Mark Guerra MDAug 20, 2025
      Visible cracks in the bead immediately after solidification of your TEC.LA Welding System may be due to: * Joints being too rigid: Eliminate tension problems due to the shape of joints. * Welding throat being too thin: Reduce welding speed to allow for a thicker deposit. * Cooling too quick: Pre-heat the piece and cool it more slowly.

    How to fix fissure due to slight filling of the split in TEC.LA Welding System?
    • C
      colleen97Aug 27, 2025
      To address fissures due to slight filling of the split when using the TEC.LA Welding System: * Increase welding current if it is too low. * Use electrodes of a smaller diameter if the current electrode is too big for the joint. * Enlarge the split if it is insufficient. * Place the pieces in a correct sequence if the welding sequence is incorrect.

    How to prevent non-metallic material trapped in the weld bead of TEC.LA Ergus WIG 160 DCi Welding System?
    • L
      Lori MccoyNov 13, 2025
      To prevent non-metallic material (including slag) from being trapped in the weld bead of your TEC.LA Welding System, consider these points: * Clean slag in situations of slight base welding and pass on the base again with an electrode of a smaller diameter if particles are trapped in the lower layers of the preceding passages. * Guarantee enough space for slag cleaning if the joint is prepared too tight. * Grind the slight or irregular part if an irregular deposit helps the slag to stay trapped. * Remove all slag from corners and use smaller electrodes with higher current for suitable penetration if there is slight penetration with slag trapped under the welding bath. * Clean the joint before welding if rust or chips prevent total melting. * Use electrodes suited to the weldin...
