Arc Welding
Getting Started: Preparing to Weld
• Inspect glovebox before use
• Ensure H2O and O2 levels are at normal
operating range and the Ar tank has >300 psi
remaining.
• Inspect welder
• Ensure the workspace in the glovebox is free of
flammable objects
• Check that the electrode is clean and sharp
• Make sure the desired copper plates are intact
and clean
• Clamp copper plate is for tubes
• Copper well plate is for arc melting
• Ensure that welding helmet is functional
• If low battery light is on, replace AAA battery
• When helmet is on and working, the lens should
darken when looking at a source of light (look
at the window)
• If it doesn’t darken, press the reset button and
the lens should flash. Return to Main

Getting Started: Preparing to Weld
• Open water lines to the copper plate
• Use the step stool to safely reach the set located behind the
glovebox
• The second set is attached directly to the right outside the
glovebox
• Completely open Ar tank
• Record your initials, date, start time, end time, amperage
used, and materials welded
• Turn on circuit on the wall
• Turn on main power on the welder
• Make sure the dial is set to DC TIG
• Turn knob to set Amperage to desired level
• Nb tubes: 40-45 A
• Large Ta tubes: 45-50 A
• Small Ta tubes: 20-25 A
• When arc melting a sample, start at lower A and increase
gradually
Return to Main
Ready to Weld
• Fix tubes into copper clamp plate
• They should not wiggle
• Samples to be arc melted should be placed inside the depressions of the copper
well plate
• Any samples must be approved before arc melting
• Alert others that you will be welding to prevent accidental blinding
• Hold torch no more than ¼ inch away from the material to be welded but do
not touch the torch to the material
• Press down on the foot pedal to start the arc and slowly increase amperage to
the set value by pressing the pedal all the way down
• Adjustments to the amperage should be done using the dial, not by pressing less on the foot
pedal
Return to Main
Shutting Down
• Return torch to the stand
• Avoid touching the water lines or gloves with the welder or hot materials
• Allow time to cool before moving materials
• Always use the tweezers to move hot tubes to avoid melting holes in the
gloves
• Return the welder amperage to 10 A
• Turn off power on welder
• Turn off main circuit on wall
• Close the water lines
• Remove any and all possible waste from glovebox using the brush and
dustpan
Return to Main
Clean-Up
• Do not leave used gloves, weigh paper, etc. in the glovebox
• A dustpan and brush is supplied to aid in cleanup of materials
• Replace the tweezers where you found them when finished
Return to Main
Emergencies
• If a hole is made in the glove, quickly remove hand from glove and
place tape over the hole. Alert Zaikina lab member so the glove
can be repaired/replaced
• If hole is made in water line, SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY. Alert Julia.
• If anything out of the ordinary occurs, seek assistance
Return to Main
Safety Reminder
• For non life-threatening treatment:
• Employees report to McFarland Clinic Occupational Medicine Office (515)
294-4496
• Students report to ISU Student Health Center (515) 294-5802
• For life-threatening treatment: CALL 911 remember to state that
you are at Iowa State University
• After hours: employees and students report to Mary Greely
Medical Emergency Dept. (515) 239-2011
Return to Main
Happy Handling!
