VIETZ FCA Welding Torch WV-Flux 350,
air-cooled, up to 350 A capacity
The VIETZ FCA Welding Torch WV-Flux 350 is to be used with the VIETZ
Wire Feeder DVI-4. The torch is very flexible and lightweight, i.e. it allows
convenient and fatigue-free use in all welding positions also for longer
welding processes. For current decrease when welding in awkward positions,
a switch is installed in the pistol-grip handle in order to keep the weld pool
under control.

info
Due to the high melting point of tungsten (3380 °C), the tungsten
electrode does not melt, if TIG welding is performed in a correct
fashion. The electrode ‚only’ serves to produce the arc. The inert
gas circulates concentrically around the electrode and protects the
electrode and the weld metal against the atmosphere.

Electrode drying
We recommend drying of electrodes right before the welding process,
following the indications given in the table below. We also recommend
to keep the electrodes in the case, in order to work with lowest hydrogen
concentrations.

The values indicated in this table are only for orientation. Please check manufacturers’ recommendations for your individual application!
We recommend the following procedure for drying electrodes:
• put the electrodes in a pre-heated oven (approx. 80 - 100 °C); max. number of layers: 3
• after pre-heating, keep the recommended temperature for approx. two hours; in case of drying temperatures over 250 °C, raise the temperature slowly
(approx. 150 °C/h) to the recommended value
• do not exceed a total drying time of 10 hours (this maximum value applies also if the drying process is made up of several cycles)
• before you take the electrodes out of the oven, the temperature should be lowered to 70 – 90 °C.
Do not weld with electrodes that were in direct contact with water, grease or oil. Drying such electrodes does not yield fully satisfying results, so these
electrodes should only be used for minor purposes.
Coated electrodes supplied in cans need no drying, if they are immediately put into the case and kept there during the welding process.
Although we do not recommend drying of certain stick electrodes (see table above), it can be useful under certain circumstances to dry such electrodes too,
for example, if electrodes were stored improperly or if other conditions led to too much moisture in the electrodes. A high water concentration usually can be
identified during welding if increased splashing or porosity occurs. In such cases as described, stick electrodes may be dried for approx. one hour at 100 - 120
°C, if no other recommendations are given by the manufacturer. However, this does not apply to cellulose-coated stick electrodes, which generally must not
be re-dried!
The temperature for intermediate storage in an oven after re-drying should be 120 - 200 °C (for max. 30 days), for storage in a case 100 - 200 °C (for max.
10 days).

VIETZ-Selfshield® V75
This self-shielding flux-cored wire was developed by VIETZ in collaboration with a renown wire manufacturer particularly for pipeline construction. Due to its outstanding properties (quickly solidified slag and
extremely low tendency towards splashing), the VIETZ Selfshield® V75
allows to weld in all positions without any difficulties.

info
Storage of flux-cored wire
Flux-cored wire is not as prone to moisture accumulation as stick
electrodes. The core is largely protected against the ambient
atmosphere by means of a metal band. However, it is possible that
the low-hydrogen character of a flux-cored wire can be affected
by moisture due to intensive contact with moist air, for example
caused by unprotected overnight storage in an area with high air
humidity.
on the weld seam at the beginning of the welding process. Work
with acclimatized wire only!
When you have finished the welding process, remove the spool
with the remaining wire from the machine and put it back into the
original packing.
Flux-cored wire should be stored in closed, dry and, if need be,
heated rooms to allow for proper conditions with regard to
temperature and humidity. We recommend a maximum of 60 %
relative air humidity and at least 15 °C ambient temperature. If
flux-cored wire is stored below 10 °C, it is possible that the surface
of the wire is affected by condensed water when the packing is
opened in a heated room. This may lead to porosity and blowholes
