Zirconiated and pure tungsten on and inverter?

admin

Hey so I'm curious cuz I cannot find a video on this.....let says you used zirconiated or pure on say a dynasty 200dx or everlast 200dx or any inverter.....can you use zirconiated and pure for AC.......And if someone has lemme no how it turns out....and I already know its not recommended I just wanna know what would happen no guessing........also what happens when you when them on DC does it just ball up and that's why.......but yea why cant your used ZR and pure on inverter....like even if they do ball on AC why does it matter cuz its normal to ball the tungsten on transformers...I got a everlast 200dx and both those tungsten and am wondering if it will wreck my machine if iuse them on it....even if it doesn't produce nice welds I wanna just try em out....am I ok or will it mess my machine cause of a erratic arc?   THANKS
Reply:No they will not wreck your inverter. Might wreck your parts when they spit tungsten into the weld. Pure and Zirc tungstens are best reserved for tranny tigs. I have a zirc tungsten that my LWS gave to me and the only thing I can do with it is on AC and high balance DCEN and it still balls back too freaking much. Pure I gave up on years ago even on conventional tigs.Weld like a "WELDOR", not a wel-"DERR" MillerDynasty700DX,Dynasty350DX4ea,Dynasty200DX,Li  ncolnSW200-2ea.,MillerMatic350P,MillerMatic200w/spoolgun,MKCobraMig260,Lincoln SP-170T,PlasmaCam/Hypertherm1250,HFProTig2ea,MigMax1ea.
Reply:Yeah, It won't wreck you machine...But as he said, it may wreck your parts.   Arc won't be stable and it won't be easy to start an arc with a big ole balled up monkey fist on the end.My thought is that the inverters switch so fast, and with a square wave the tungsten does not have time to cool as the wave transitions between transition between EN and EP like you would with a transformer with a sine wave and HF overlay.Last edited by lugweld; 09-19-2014 at 04:09 PM.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT
