8. Important Tips On Electrode and Power for Micro Welding - Free Permanent Jewelry Training
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2022
- This video talks about what you need to know about the maintenance and shape of the Electrode, in the Orion Micro Welder. The electrode is the needle which conducts the electricity in arc pulse welding. It is encased in the Stylus.
With use, the electrode gets gunky (sooty) due to the accumulation of fire scale/oxidation. You need to clean it to reduce the amount of spark, smoke and oxidation (particularly annoying if you are welding permanent bracelets because you cannot remove the piece to put into a pickle to remove fire scale. You can remove the grime by simply wiping it off or using something abrasive to help remove any hardened build up.
Over time, the electrode will erode and also become dull. You can sharpen it by using a sanding disc and Dremel. If you do not have one, sandpaper can do the trick, but it will require a bit more elbow grease.
The shape of the electrode has a strong effect on the power of the weld. The sharper it comes to a point, the more concentrated the power. In the video, I demonstrate that with a new electrode (needle sharp), you can weld a 22 ga 5mm sterling silver jump ring at 5W power with ease, whereas it required a couple more tries with a dulled electrode at 7.5W.
Different metals also require different amounts of power. If you are finding your dulled electrode not welding securely/effectively, you may wish to increase the power or sharpen the electrode. If you are finding your sharp electrode to be too powerful (melting or blowing up your metal), then you can reduce the power or switch to a duller electrode.

Thank you Soooo much for sharing your incredible tips! So generous and kind of you! They are so helpful! ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching :)
What grit sand wheel do you recommend 😊
I used medium, but I found it doesn't matter all that much - you're just removing the soot and the tungsten electrode isn't a very hard metal to sharpen.
Hi, I want to know your advice, I would love to start offering permanent jewelry to my biz, do you recommend using a cheaper welding machine for this service? Because I don’t have 3k for the Orion just yet 😩
I don't know of any cheaper welding machines out there. The other issue is that if you use an unsafe (or something that turns out faulty and someone gets injured), you will have expensive litigation on your hands. Your case would be weakened because you went with the cheapest tools possible. Sunstone Engineering are the inventors and makers of the Orion Micro Welder - they are highly reputable and have deep pockets; this alone would make the machine worthwhile if you're using it for a business. The margin on the permanent jewelry is great. I wholesale the chains at what is about $2.20 to $3.50 per average bracelet, the piece (including service) retails on average $45-$75 ea. So, the margin, excluding labour and rent, is $40-$70 ea. You need only to make 75 of these bracelets to earn your machine back. Most people can do that in a couple of weeks. I don't know of any other machine that can do this, so it is actually very value and you don't have to worry about warranty/liability issues that you would with some imitation machines. However, these are just my thoughts. I hope this helps; I love responding to the business side of things.
@@stonesandfindings thank you & yess I saw their video! Thank you so much!!!
@@nancyloviedor oh good. Good luck - whatever your decision is, I hope it goes well!
Why do you have the tank of gas for the welder?
It's argon gas - which is a heavier gas that the welder company, Orion (Sunstone Engineering), had suggested to reduce oxidation. I have a full explanation video on the gas and a poduct review.
