MIG/MAG torch maintenance: how it works

Free e-book as a handbook for welders

A MIG/MAG welding torch has to endure a lot during its active life. The constant heat places extreme demands on the material. Welding spatter sticks to the gas nozzle, contact tip, and contact tip holder. The manual torch replaces the hammer when straightening workpieces. Of course, the components and materials used in and on a welding torch are manufactured to be as durable as possible, but considering the overall circumstances, proper maintenance is all the more important.  

Abicor Binzel offers a helpful handbook for all welders in the form of its free e-book “Correct maintenance of MIG/MAG welding torches – basic knowledge and helpful tips.”

E-book content
  • Recommendations for quick, regular checks before starting the day
  • How to avoid wire sticking, leaks, or failures during power transmission
  • First aid tips in case of welding torch failure
  • Wear prevention measures for gas nozzles, contact tips, torch necks, cable assemblies, wire guides, and machine connections
  • Checklists for preventing malfunctions
