New Mexico FFA Agricultural Mechanics Career Development Event Welding and Metal Working
Abrasive Cut-Off Saw • Abrasive saw blade material is used to cut metal.
Acetylene Regulator • Used to reduce the high acetylene cylinder pressure to a workable constant prssure. Hose and cylinder connections are left handed threads.
Brazing Rod • Used as a filler rod when braze welding. May or may not be flux coated.
Copper Coated Mild Steel Welding Rod • Used as a filler rod for mild steel oxy-fuel welding. The copper coating prevents rusting
Cutting Torch Tip • Used with a cutting torch handle when oxy-fuel cutting. The tip size is determined by the thickness of the metal.
Cutting Torch • Used with the cutting tip when oxy fuel cutting steel.
Electrode • A coated metal wire used for shielded metal-arc welding a variety of metals.
Electrode Holder • Used to mechanically hold the electrode while conducting current from the electrode lead.
Flashback Arrestor • Used to limit damage from a flashback by allowing the gases to flow in only one direction, preventing the flame from burning back into the equipment.
Friction Lighter • Used to light torch’s for cutting and welding. Safer than using matches or a lighter.
Ground Clamp • Used to connect the ground lead (cable) to the work. This provides a completed electrical circuit.
Inert Gas Regulator • Regulates shielding gases such as argon, helium and carbon dioxide. Used for MIG and TIG welding.
Leather Gloves • Used to protect the hands from the ultraviolet rays and spatter of hot metal.
MIG Tips • MIG tips guide the welding wire through the gun nozzle.
MIG Welding Gun • Used to deliver the wire and shielding gas to the weld surface.
MIG Wire • Used as filler wire for the MIG welding process. May be bare wire or flux cored.
MIG Nozzle Gel • Coating applied to lubricate the welding wire and tip for smoother wire flow during the welding process and cut down on splatter.
Oxygen Regulator • Used to reduce the high oxygen cylinder pressure to a workable constant pressure. Hose and cylinder connections are right-handed threads.
Pipe Cutting Guide • A variety of different types of guides that clamp around pipe to aid in cutting angles etc. Pipe cutting guides are available in a variety of sizes.
Porcelain Gas Cup • Non-metallic cup that directs the flow of shielding gases when TIG welding.
Protective Leather, sleeves, apron or coat • Used to protect the body from harmful ultraviolet rays and hot molten spatter while welding.
Slag or Chipping Hammer • Used for slag removal from shielded electrode weld.
Tip Cleaner • Used to clean and partially recondition both welding and cutting tips.
Torch Handle • Used to mix fuel gasses and oxygen in the correct proportions.
Tungsten Electrode • Non-consumable electrode that generates the arc when TIG welding. Can be purchased in a variety of sizes.
Vise Grip Welding Clamp • With its flat and “U” shaped jaws, it is used to clamp metals quickly.
Welding/Cutting Goggles • Used to protect eyes from damaging light rays and heat rays that may prove destructive to eye tissue. Should not be used for arc welding.
Welding Helmet • Used to protect the eyes and face from the harmful arc rays and molten spatter produced when arc welding.
Welding Tip • Used for all types of oxy-fuel brazing and welding.
Wire Brush • Used to prepare metal for welding or cutting. Removes slag or rust . May be used to clean parts of machinery.
