    What to do if there is no shielding gas flow from WeldCraft WP-20 Welding System torch?
    • M
      Melinda HarrisJul 29, 2025
      If there's no shielding gas flowing from your WeldCraft Welding System torch, first ensure all gas supply valves are open. Inspect the cable for any kinks or blockages. Then, check and tighten all gas supply fittings. Finally, examine the cables and torch for cracked insulation or bad connections; repair or replace as necessary.

    Why is the tungsten electrode oxidizing in my WeldCraft Welding System?
    • B
      Brian JohnsonAug 8, 2025
      If the tungsten electrode in your WeldCraft Welding System is oxidizing and not remaining bright after welding, shield the weld zone from drafts. Increase the postflow time and gas flow rate, checking the manufacturer's recommendations. Also, check and tighten all gas fittings, and inspect the gas valve and flow meter/regulator. Ensure you're using the correct size and type of tungsten, and that it's properly prepared.

      If you're experiencing difficulty establishing an arc or a lack of high frequency with your WeldCraft Welding System, make sure you've selected the correct size and type of tungsten, and that it's properly prepared. Inspect the cables and torch for cracks or bad connections, ensuring the torch cables aren't near any grounded metal. Replace any damaged parts. Check the torch consumables, ensuring the collet and collet body are correctly installed and tightened. Finally, check the welding power source's High Frequency control and adjust the spark gaps if needed.
