Tig Ceramic Cups

admin

Ok, so i just recently got the Miller Diversion 180 AC/DC Tig welder and it came with the regular torch consumables, long back cap, collet, collet body, #7 ceramic cup and heat insulator, and i got a consumables pack that has #'s 4,5 and 6 ceramic cups short back cap, and some more collets and collet bodies in it and i was wondering what the ceramic cups are for? like are ceramic cups for getting into tighter spaces or based on amperage or tungsten size or what? by the way, the Miller Diversion 180 has a LS17(WP-17) tig torch. -thanks

Reply:Originally Posted by shovelonHere is the manual. All kinds of diagrams there. You use them according to size of weld, and yes the small ones can assist you in getting into tight joints. You just have be careful to have enough gas flow, but not too much. Pull your tungsten out to about 1/2 the I.D. of the cup for starters. I generally like to pull out 1/3rd for outside joints, and 2/3rds to a full diameter for fillets. The fillet corner traps the gas.http://www.millerwelds.com/om/o246522g_mil.pdfI would start out with the #6 cup and the 3/32 tungsten, and 12cfh argon. You go up and down in flow to your liking. BTW, the size of the cup is I.D. and so a #6 is 6/16"(or 3/8" if you reduce the fraction), #7  is 7/16" I.D., and so on.Did you get gas yet?
