General: The Model 116 SRL has three position switches for both current and time cycles. The combination of these switches yields nine distinct power-time ratios which allow parallel wire welding from 55 to 20 AWG in any material. Because No third metallic material is employed in making these junctions, and because the two different thermocouple wire compositions are completely alloyed in the junction, thermocouples made by the SRL exhibit less that 0.01°C variation from one couple to the next at the same temperature.

Principle: The Tungsten Inert Gas Arc is energized to the specified temperature level for the correct length of time by the power supply unit which incorporates three positions switches for both weld time and weld current. Once the switches are set welding is accomplished when the arc is fired through the argon-protected gap which heats the metal to a molten state. When the energy is automatically interrupted, the metal cools into a weld junction of high integrity.

Application: Parallel wire welding capabilities can be tested by producing thermocouple junctions in all combinations of the usual thermocouple materials in size ranges from 55 to 20 AWG. In the fine wire tests, it is necessary to use the minimum position for both weld time and weld current and, additionally, to pull the holding device away from the face of the welder as soon as the arc starts. This technique is learned easily and is necessary only for wire sizes less than 48 AWG. The upper limit in weldment size is determined at 20 AWG (.0319") copper pairs, the resulting bead size being 0.06" diameter. It is possible to make larger weldments in other materials.

Additional: Tube closures in ferrous and Non ferrous materials from capillary size to 0.06" diameter can be welded. Stranded wire and materials of low columnar strength can be welded easily and safely.
